Ostuni & Olive Oil
Visit the ‘White City’ and explore the traditions of olive oli, also known as Puglia’s ‘Green Gold’
This experience is about so much more than an olive oil tasting – it is a step into the lifeblood of the region, its natural beauty, the people and the traditions. The olive trees in Puglia are incredibly special. Some are more than one thousand years old and are magnificent natural sculptures, monumental trees bearing the gnarly twist and knots of the passing centuries. The trees have amazing energy and olive oil has been the region’s most important economic commodity for centuries. You will visit a historic estate, family-owned and immensely passionate about their oil. Enjoy an in-depth tour and taste the extra virgin olive oil with our guide.
Afterwards we’ll travel to the magical “white city” of Ostuni. Think white-washed streets and picturesque piazzas, brimming with café culture. Along the city walls you can see the Aragonese towers rising out of the rock and enjoy the stunning views over the sweeping plains of olive trees all the way to the Adriatic Sea. The citadel is a labyrinth of impossibly-charming alleyways, decked with flower boxes that contrast against the striking white walls and clear blue sky. Take a walk with our guide and immerse yourself in the lifestyle of Southern Italy.
