Corfu: Olivenölverkostung & Bio-Bauernhof-Tour

Maria was the most welcoming and calm host. The farm itself is stunning, and the mission behind it is lovely, promoting great-quality produce from local sources. Maria took us around the farm, answered all of our questions and clearly had such a passion and love for what she and the small team do. There are also lots of cats who happily join you along the way, which we loved! The tasting was amazing and, being from the UK, I had genuinely never tasted anything quite like it. Maria really took her time guiding us through everything, and the amount of food you get to try for just €15 after a 45-minute tour was far beyond what we expected. We tried two different types of olive oil with bread, bruschetta (two slices each!), oranges with olive oil and, of course, olives. For €15, it’s an amazing morning activity and such good value for money. It was one of the highlights of the whole trip, especially for my partner! Plus you supporting a family owned small business.

This tour is perfect for anyone looking for a quiet place where you won't be rushed. We were there in mid-October, and the air in the olive grove was fantastic. There are various animals on the property (dogs, cats and chickens). They are all very friendly and can also be petted. The tour itself was very informative, with time for questions. You got the feeling that the staff here know what they're doing. Our guide was very kind and knowledgeable. English language skills are necessary for this tour. There is a small tasting of the homemade oil, followed by good bread with tomatoes and a plate of oranges. Olives that we picked ourselves were also included. During the tasting, children can draw or move around freely in the garden. The needs of the little ones are catered to individually. There is also a small shop where you can buy various homemade products. The prices are fair. Parking is available, but you have to ring the bell at the gate.😊

Really good activity

A really nice tasting session. The guide gives an interesting account of the history of the place as well as of the olive oil itself. Then there was a tasting and some tasty snacks. The only thing that didn't work out was the timing, and unfortunately we had to leave just before the end because, due to the delay and the extended duration, we wouldn't have made it to the next scheduled attraction of the day. It's worth taking extra time into account.

We really enjoyed the tour! It was a small group, our guide was really nice and explained a lot about the farm and their process of making olive oil. Afterwards we were able to taste the oil and they prepared different appetizers. It was totally worth it and we would recommend this tour to anyone!
