Description

Close your eyes and imagine: the gentle rustle of silver leaves, the scent of sun-drenched grass, and a 360-degree panoramic view stretching from the shimmering blue of Lake Garda to the peaks of the Lessini Mountains and the historic skyline of Verona.

Welcome to our third-generation family farm, where we produce world-class Garda Olive Oil. For us, oil is not just a condiment; it is the liquid storytelling of a family, a unique terroir, and an infinite passion for excellence.

If you are wondering how premium extra virgin olive oil is made, or if you want to learn how to identify flavor profiles like a professional sommelier, this authentic farm tour will forever change the way you taste food.

A Journey Through History and Nature

Your adventure begins with a scenic guided farm tour. We will lead you through our hillside olive groves, a natural amphitheater 200 meters above sea level. Together, we will walk along the Vaio Corbola, also known as "Pissarola"—a breathtaking canyon carved by ancient glaciers, now a sanctuary of peace. Here, amidst pristine nature, you will discover the deep-rooted olive oil culture of Lake Garda.

The "Sensory Game": Much More Than a Simple Tasting

Forget dry academic lectures. You will take part in a unique sensory experience designed to engage all your senses:

  • Learn the Craft: Discover the secrets of harvesting (autumn) and pruning (spring) with hands-on demonstrations.
  • The Blue Glass Ritual: Use the official professional tasting glasses to learn how to "listen" to the oil's aroma and texture.
  • Guided Olive Oil Tasting: Challenge your palate with our award-winning oils, from the prestigious Garda DOP certified oil to our elite selections: Premium and Oro del Vajo.
  • Flavor Explosion: It’s not just about the oil! Sample our artisanal pâtés and natural infused condiments (rosemary, lemon, basil, garlic, and chili) on slices of crusty, homemade bread.

Why choose this Lake Garda experience?

Whether you are a dedicated foodie or a family looking for an engaging outdoor activity, our "sensory game" is designed for everyone. Children will have fun discovering the scents of nature, while adults will learn about the health benefits and creative uses of EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) in gourmet cooking.

What is included in your experience:

  • Guided olive grove tour with historical and geographical insights.
  • Visit to the storage facilities and the farm’s production lab.
  • Professional tasting of 3 types of EVOO (Garda DOP, Selection Premium, Oro del Vajo).
  • Sampling of pâtés, gourmet olives, and infused oils on fresh bread.
  • 360-degree panoramic views over Verona, Lake Garda, and the Euganean Hills.

Join us for an unforgettable moment in the morainic hills. Our team of certified professionals and olive oil enthusiasts will welcome you with a sip of history, making you feel right at home.


1. "Is this activity suitable for non-experts or families with children?"

Absolutely! This isn't a technical lecture; it’s a "sensory game." While adults discover the organoleptic properties of Garda DOP Oil, children enjoy identifying the scents of nature (fresh-cut grass, almond, artichoke) and playing "spot the intruder" among different oils. It is an inclusive, educational, and dynamic Lake Garda family activity.

2. "What makes this Lake Garda olive oil tasting different from a standard mill visit?"

Unlike standard tours, we take you to the heart of the land. You will walk through the Pissarola natural oasis and enjoy a 360-degree view that few tourists ever see. As an award-winning yet family-run farm, you aren't just a number; you are a guest discovering how international excellence is born directly from the hands of the producers.

3. "Can we buy the products after the tasting?"

Certainly! After learning to taste like a pro, you can visit our farm shop to purchase our selections (Garda DOP, Premium, Oro del Vajo). During the session, we also provide practical tips and creative food pairings to help you transform your daily meals into gourmet experiences back home.
