Pick olives at harvest time, then a Maremma picnic

Montalto di Castro

You pick the olives yourself, by hand, on the morning they go to the press. Lunch afterwards is filled rolls and local wine, out among the trees.

How the day goes

  1. Into the grove at the start of the day, with a crate and instructions.
  2. Picking by hand, tree by tree, for the estate's own extra virgin oil.
  3. Old trees on organic ground, on an estate that runs down to the sea.
  4. A Maremma picnic to finish: bread rolls filled properly, and wine from here.

The harvest is a short window in autumn and the mornings fill up, so ring the estate early and they will put you on one.
