Olive Oil Tasting & Private Chef with Lunch

About this tour

Spend three hours in rural Sicily learning how olive oil is produced at a working mill, tasting several varieties alongside a private chef's lunch featuring fresh fish and seasonal produce. You'll eat in an actual family home rather than a tourist venue, where generations-old recipes come together on the table. Transport and water included.

Highlights

• Walk through a functioning local olive oil mill
• Taste multiple olive oil varieties, including infused blends
• Three-course lunch prepared by a private chef
• Fresh fish and seasonal Sicilian ingredients
• Recipes handed down through family generations
• Eat in a genuine home, not a restaurant

What to expect

Your guide collects you and drives to a small mill where you'll observe oil production first-hand. A miller explains the process while you sample cold-pressed oils—standard varieties and house-made infused versions. You'll notice the difference between early and late harvest oils. Then you move to a family home for lunch. The chef serves what's in season that day, built around fresh catch and vegetables from local suppliers. Courses arrive unhurried, designed for conversation. Expect two to three hours total, with about 45 minutes at the mill and 90 minutes at the table.
