Tarano
Olive country in the Sabina hills, where the oil is the reason to come and the reason to stay for lunch.
7 things to bookthe nearest is a 1 h 01 drive from Rome
The Sabina has been pressing oil since before Rome was worth mentioning, and the groves around Tarano are old, terraced and still worked by the families who own them. What you book here is almost always a table: a tasting in the grove, a walk through it, or a day with your hands in the nets at harvest.
Come in November if you can pick your month. The mills run day and night, the new oil is green and peppery, and everyone will make you try it on bread before you have sat down.
