About this tour
A five-hour experience on a family-run olive estate where you'll learn how organic oil is made, taste it overlooking the River Mares, then eat paella and wine poolside. You get hands-on time in the grove during harvest season, private transport included, and a genuine look at how a 200-year-old operation actually works — not a tourist theatre version of farming.
Highlights
- Harvest olives yourself during season in working groves
- Learn organic oil production directly from the family makers
- Taste freshly-pressed oil with river views
- Three-course paella meal with local wine included
- Swim in the estate pool between tastings
- Private vehicle pickup and drop-off both ways
- Suitable for all fitness levels and ages with prams welcomed
What to expect
You'll be collected by private transport and driven to the family estate. Once there, you'll walk through olive groves (timing depends on harvest season) and learn the organic production process from the owners themselves. You'll taste the oil in a designated area with views across to the River Mares.
Afterwards, you'll move to a dining area for paella, wine, and bottled water. The itinerary includes pool time to cool off between activities. Transport back to your starting point wraps up the experience. The whole outing runs five hours from start to finish.

Good to know
This suits anyone wanting a practical, hands-on introduction to olive farming and Spanish food culture, from solo travellers to families with young children (prams are welcome, infants can sit on laps). The harvest experience depends on the season — you'll actually pick olives if it's harvest time, which typically runs autumn through early winter. Pool time assumes reasonable warmth; timing and water temperature vary by season. All meals are provided. Private transport means no group minibus shuffling. The property is a working farm, not a manicured venue, so expect authentic farm conditions rather than resort polish.
