Are you planning a trip to Tuscany or Umbria?
If you love authentic food, beautiful landscapes, and sustainable living, there’s one experience you can’t miss: the Olive Oil Tour at Fontanaro.
Here’s why this tour is more than just a tasting — it’s a journey into the heart of slow living.
🌿 1. Step into Our Organic Olive Groves
You’ll begin your visit surrounded by more than 1,000 olive trees, lovingly cared for using organic, regenerative farming methods. The estate is nestled in the hills of Paciano, one of the most beautiful villages in Umbria, right on the Tuscan border.
2. Taste Award-Winning Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Fontanaro’s olive oil isn’t just local — it’s globally recognized.
Enjoy a guided tasting of their cold-pressed, single-estate EVOO. You’ll learn how to recognize quality olive oil and understand why it’s called “green gold.”
🏆 Fun fact: Fontanaro’s oils have won multiple international awards for purity and taste.
🍷 3. Pair it with Wine and Local Flavors
This isn’t just a tasting — it’s a full sensory experience.
The olive oil is served with homemade bruschetta, seasonal vegetables, cheeses, and local wines. Everything comes directly from the estate or nearby organic farms.
👩🍳 4. Add an organic Cooking Class (Optional)
Want to take the experience to the next level?
Book a private cooking class and learn how to use olive oil in traditional recipes — from handmade pasta to seasonal contorni. It’s the perfect way to bring the flavors of Italy home with you.
🌅 5. Soak in the Beauty of Tuscany and Umbria
Whether you’re walking through the groves or enjoying a sunset aperitivo, you’ll be immersed in the natural beauty of this region — rolling hills, cypress trees, vineyards, and peaceful silence.
📍 Fontanaro is just 20/40 minutes from Cortona and Montepulciano.
🐾 A Family-Friendly Experience (Yes, Even for Pets!)
Visiting Fontanaro feels like stepping into a storybook. Kids can play on the garden swing, meet our friendly cats, dogs, and ducks, and enjoy the fresh countryside air — while you sip and taste in peace. It’s an experience the whole family will remember (even the four-legged ones)!
💚 6. Meet the Family Behind the Oil
The tour is led by the Fontanaro family, who have been cultivating this land with love for generations. Their passion, knowledge, and warm hospitality turn this tour into something truly personal.
