OLIVE OIL TOURS

We offer tours of our organic olive groves for a total immersion into our world and history. Stir the senses with the sights, sounds, smells, stories, and tastes of the Florentine hills.

Our tours take you on foot through our centuries old olive groves, passing by our beehives, to our state of the art orciaia (olive oil cellar). Throughout the tour we share in-depth explanations of our organic olive oil and honey production methods. After the walking tour, guests are treated to a tasting of our award winning organic extra virgin olive oil and organic honey on a terrace that offers sweeping views of our surrounding valleys.

Our experience in receiving diverse groups with a wide range of interests (agriculture, history, culture, economics, architecture…) allows us to offer you a tailor-made experience.

After the tour is over, we encourage our guests to stick around and enjoy the breathtakingly beautiful views and fresh breeze.

Oil is available to purchase at special direct to consumer prices after the tour!

HISTORY

Family owned and operated for four generations, the Scaravellis have olive oil in their veins. Developed in the early 1300’s, the methodology of the farm we see today was put into place by the current generation’s father. Alberto was a pioneer in the field of ecology and visionary in the field of organic agriculture. A passionate researcher, he was among the first to spread organic agricultural practices in Italy.

ORGANIC

Since its founding during the Renaissance, centuries before official organic certification was available, the farm has operated under the rules and principles of organic agriculture. Today, the sons of Alberto Scaravelli, an ecological pioneer of the 60’s and 70’s, continue with the same conviction and strive to preserve the environment while guaranteeing the highest quality of organic oil.
