- MerrowmumGuildford, United Kingdom1,260 contributionsExcellent tour and tastingThis was an excellent experience from start to finish, organised for our small group ad part of a Puglia holiday. We started with a short walk round the olive groves themselves, seeing various trees of note and learning about the history and biology of the trees. Fascinating! Then we were taken around the buildings, starting with a history lesson in the underground area about how oil pressing changed over the centuries from Greek times onwards. Finally, we had a blind tasting experience together with an explanation of the different types of oil. All parts of the tour were excellent, largely down to the knowledge and sheer enthusiasm of the hosts, who I’m assuming were the owner and his son. It is lovely to see people who are so passionate about their life and work, even down to individual trees! We then had the chance to buy some of the oil, which is both excellent and well priced.Visited April 2022Written April 8, 2022
- Thomas B58 contributionsImpressive olive trees and very tasty, award-winning olive oil (Ita & Eng)ENGLISH: Kind family with very polite, attentive and patient son Domenico who takes you on a tour of the masseria. The tour is very enjoyable and instructive. You begin with the olive trees, which are pieces of art, then move indoors inside the hypogeum, then end it with an olive oil tasting under the 800 year old pine tree. The olive oils are of very high quality and can satisfy any palate, with 4 different levels of intensity, all award-winning. Look out for the cats who sleep in the most extravagant positions! (I’m uploading only one picture so as not to spoil the experience) ITALIAN: Famiglia gentile con figlio Domenico molto cortese, attento e paziente che fa da guida per il tour della masseria. Il tour è molto piacevole ed istruttivo. Inizi con gli alberi d’olivo, che sono pezzi d’arte, poi vi spostate nell’ipogeo e finite con la degustazione sotto un pino di 800 anni. Gli oli d’oliva sono di altissima qualità e possono soddisfare ogni palato, con 4 livelli differenti d’intensità , tutti premiati! Tenete un occhio aperto per i gatti che dormono in posizioni stravaganti. (Posto solo una foto, così per non rovinarvi l’esperienza)Visited June 2021Traveled with familyWritten June 27, 2021
- theresawSacramento, California495 contributionsA Must SeeAlthough Trip Advisor states that this is closed, it is open -- BY APPOINTMENT. We called the day before to schedule a tour and olive oil tasting. They were very nice and said they were limiting the number of people on the tours due to COVID. We booked the mid afternoon tour the next day. We arrived and had to be buzzed in the gate. We wore masks. Our tour was 6 people. The tour was fantastic. Our tour guide was full of knowledge and we learned a lot about the history of olive oil in Italy and specifically this region surrounding Ostuni. We then had a private tasting and learned a lot about tasting olive oil and we were able to ask questions about buying, storing, using the oils. Very informative. We were able to buy smaller cans of oil there. If you'd like larger bottles, they will ship directly to you. Loved our time there and the grove of olive trees is stunning - some trees dating back 3000 years!Visited September 2021Written September 16, 2021
- lynette_cypressBoise, Idaho431 contributionsInteresting visit and the ancient olive trees are amazing!The owner, Corrado, opened the farm for us and offered an informal tasting and tour (normally closed in the winter). I was researching the area for group tours this summer. He was delightful and the oils were fantastic. He showed us around the old estate, the ancient mills and current operations. It was windy and cold, but he took all the time we needed to show us around, including the "Nonno (grandpa) tree" that was ~3,000 years old. Incredible place, and i look forward to returning in a few months.Visited February 2020Written February 17, 2020
- loutch68Grenoble, France451 contributionsNice visit !We really appreciated the visit we had at the masseria. The visit lasts more than one hour and focuses on the olive trees of the masseria, the history of how olive oil was made in the past, and ends with a degustation of different olive oils. I advise you to call in advance, to register for a guided tour (14€/ pers), some of them are in English (several per days, but we were there in august so it might change)Visited August 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten August 26, 2023
- gatoreedMetairie, Louisiana1,039 contributionsA History Lesson on this Masseria and Olive Oil ProductionTouring the Puglia region of Italy and we stopped in here for a interesting history of olive oil production and the Masseria. Our guide, Pietro Gallone, could not have been more hospitable. Well versed in English, he took us on a tour of the olive trees, some dating back over 2500 years. Then to the ancient underground olive press and more modern ones in the Masseria. Finally a tasting of the olive oils produced. Well worth a visit if on the region.Visited May 2023Traveled with friendsWritten June 19, 2023
- ERL2 contributionsFantastic, informational and enjoyable tour!My husband and I did a tour of the olive grove with Pietro, who was a fantastic guide. It was one of the best trips we did when we were in Puglia. Pietro showed us all the trees in the grove, some of which had been there for millennia, and then round the ancient and modern olive presses. Finally, we had a blind tasting of multiple olive oils, and Pietro talked us through the differences of each one. We now feel we know a lot more about olive oil and had a really enjoyably time as well!Visited October 2020Written October 5, 2020

- Voyage2594432 contributionsDon't go there with kidsThis would be a very nice place with interesting nature and history, but unfortunately we did not at all feel welcome by the guide on the tour. We were there with our three kids and when my husband asked her if we could wait with the start of the tour for a couple of minutes until the baby is asleep, she was complaining that this is not possible since she had to make sure that the next tour will start on time (we were the only ones on our tour and did – of course – not expect her to spend more time with us than we had paid for). When she started the tour, my husband translated her explanations for the kids and she complained again that like this she will have to skip a part of the tour since we would be much slower with the tour. It went on like this and in the end, we had to skip a large part of the tour and did not at all have a good experience on the farm.Visited July 2020Written July 28, 2020
- david LNew York City, New York368 contributionsAmazing olive tour, very informative and the guide was a delightWe were happy to see that the olive oil vineyard had not been effected by the disease that has ravaged most of souther Puglia. We were able to hear about the amazing history of the olive trees dating back to the Roman times around 3000 years ago. The oil was used to light the lanterns not to eat while was fascinating and it was harvested by slaves which was sad. We would highly recommend this tour and definitely buy their virgin olive oil as its fantastic.Visited September 2022Written September 18, 2022

This was an amazing experience, we learned a lot about how the oil is produced and finally will be able to understand what to buy and how to choose an oil that will benefit the health as well as taste amazing. The hostess of the tour spoke good English and could answer all of our questions, told a lot about the history of the masseria. The blind test of the oils was very interesting and we ended up getting information about how we can order the oil right from the masseria to our home in Latvia. Could not suggest this place more!

A wonderful place where u can actually touch 3000 year old olive trees and learn about olive oil production. We went there with our almost 6 and 9 year old kids and they loved it as well. The family which owns the place is extremely helpful, friendly and passionate about olives and olive oil. Highly recommended.

Astoundingly old trees, the guides explain the background to the monumental trees and take you around the old Roman underground presses. An hour or so, but well worth it just to get close to the historic trees. Good value.
