Castel Viscardo With your hands

A 1966 mill opens its oleoteca, but only if you book first

Castel Viscardo

A working mill in the hills between Orvieto and the Tuscan border, opened up by the family that has been pressing here since their grandfather's day.

How the day goes

  1. Round the historic mill with whoever of the family is free that morning.
  2. Taste their oils in a row, the DOP and the single-cultivar ones side by side.
  3. Umbrian food alongside, so the oil goes on something and not onto a spoon.

It opens only for people who booked, and the visit is in Italian: fill the form on their site or ring.

Where it is
