Local Olive Oil Tasting

Discover the rich flavors and centuries-old traditions of Italian olive oil production with a guided tasting at a family-run frantoio (olive mill) located just minutes from Bellamore. This authentic cultural experience includes round-trip transportation, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable outing for all guests.

Your visit begins with a warm welcome and an introduction to the olive groves and production methods that have been passed down through generations. Guests learn about harvesting techniques, cold-pressing methods, and the craftsmanship behind producing premium extra virgin olive oil. Depending on the season, you may even witness parts of the milling process firsthand.

Following the educational tour, enjoy a curated tasting featuring a variety of high-quality olive oils, each highlighting different aromas, textures, and flavor notes—from delicate and fruity to bold and peppery. The tasting is paired with fresh local breads, cheeses, and seasonal bites that demonstrate how olive oil elevates traditional cuisine.

This immersive experience offers a delicious and memorable connection to Valpolicella’s agricultural heritage. Guests who find a favorite oil can arrange optional purchases or follow-up visits through Bellamore’s concierge.
