Roccasecca Dei Volsci With your hands

Walk through century-old olive groves, mill visit and guided tasting, Colline Pontine

Roccasecca dei Volsci

The groves stand on the hills between the Lepini and the sea, worked organically, and the family who work them walk you through the whole olive year in an afternoon.

How the day goes

  1. Up above Roccasecca dei Volsci, into the old groves on foot.
  2. How the year runs here, and what organic and biodynamic mean in a grove.
  3. On into the farm buildings and the mill: picking, pressing, storing.
  4. A guided tasting of the Solatia oil to finish.

Times and prices are agreed by phone rather than published, so this one starts with a call.
