Vetralla With your hands

Olive mill and oil tasting at Vetralla, picked up from your Rome hotel

Vetralla

A driver collects you at your hotel in Rome, and after that the day is his problem: a Farnese palace or a Roman amphitheatre, then an olive mill.

How the day goes

  1. Picked up at the hotel by a private driver who works in English.
  2. Choose the morning: Caprarola and the Farnese palace, or Sutri and its Etruscan necropolis.
  3. On to the mill at Vetralla, where the harvest and the pressing are explained.
  4. A private tasting of the oils with bruschetta, then driven back into the city.

Meals and entrance tickets are settled on the day, so keep something aside for them on top of the tour price.
