In rural Calabria, see the secrets of olive oil production unfold before your eyes. As you tour the rows of silver-green olive trees by tractor and trailer, you will discover the story of the olive, from tree to table, before having a local lunch and visiting the hilltop town of Nicotera.
Once you have worked up an appetite touring the olive groves, it's time to treat your tastebuds with a feast of flavours inspired by Calabria's culinary heritage. Your lunch is prepared with locally sourced ingredients, many made with the region's liquid gold - Calabrian olive oil. Your menu features handmade pasta, local cheeses, and a selection of local products that offer a true taste of the land.
After lunch, continue your journey to the historic town of Nicotera. Wander through its ancient streets, absorb the authentic atmosphere, and admire the architecture of monuments such as the Cathedral. The hilltop location of this ancient settlement offers great coastal views, as well as over the nearby olive groves.
