Good to know
This suits anyone interested in food production, quality ingredients or the mechanics of olive oil making, whether a casual cook or serious enthusiast. No specialist knowledge is needed. The factory is fully wheelchair accessible with accessible transport and all-level pathways, and suitable for families with infants (prams welcome) and varying fitness levels. It's set in a working industrial facility, so expect machinery noise and typical factory temperatures. The visit is indoors and outdoors, so light layers are practical. Group sizes aren't specified, but peak harvest season (late autumn to early winter) may be busier. The tasting is included; check locally what else might incur extra cost.
