The experience at a glance...
A Sensory Journey into the World of Greek Olive Oil
Your experience begins in the peaceful countryside of Corinth, at a small village church where we welcome you before stepping into the olive grove together.
From there, we take a gentle walk among the olive trees, where you will discover the story behind one of Greece’s most treasured foods. Along the way, you will learn how olives are grown, harvested, and transformed into exceptional extra virgin olive oil — directly from the award-winning producer and certified olive oil sommelier who crafted the oils you will taste.
This is a rare opportunity to learn from the artisan behind the bottle, gaining insights normally reserved for professionals in the olive oil world. As we arrive at the tasting table in the grove, the experience becomes truly sensory.
Using professional olive oil tasting glasses, you will take part in a guided blind tasting of several Greek olive oil varieties, discovering how to identify aromas, flavors, and textures the way experts do. Without seeing the oils first, your senses become sharper — revealing the fresh green notes, fruitiness, and peppery finish that define exceptional extra virgin olive oil.
Most visitors are surprised by how dramatically different olive oils can taste. To complete the experience, we explore how olive oil transforms food through a selection of fresh bread, seasonal bites, and carefully chosen pairings that highlight its versatility in Greek cuisine.
But what guests remember most is not only the knowledge — it is the feeling.
The quiet beauty of the olive grove.
The warmth of Greek hospitality.
The joy of discovering something new around a shared table.
Small, personal, and immersive, the Olive Oil Immersion is designed for curious travelers who want more than a tasting. It is for those who want to understand Greece through its flavors, its land, and the people who care for it.
By the end of the experience, one thing becomes clear: olive oil will never taste the same again.
During the olive oil tasting you will :
-
Learn everything about olive oil categories and the basic principles of olive oil tasting
-
Explore the fruitiness, pungency and bitterness
-
Learn how to appreciate and taste olive oil to identify award winning qualities as well as negative traits and tell the difference
-

-

-

Leaving the activity, you will see olive oil in a new light, have the knowledge to select an olive oil from the shelf, add value to your nutrition and well-being and reinvent your appreciation of olive oil!
