Olive Grove Tour & Organic Olive Oil Tasting in Chianti Rufina
Discover the soul of Tuscany through an experience that blends nature, history, and flavor: a guided tour through our ancient olive groves, where our organic extra virgin olive oil is born — rich with the scents of sun, earth, and wind.Walk among rows of olive trees bathed in the golden light of Chianti Rufina, where each tree tells a story, and every leaf reflects the wisdom of the land. The views are nothing short of spectacular: rolling hills, distant stone villages, and the quiet poetry of untouched nature.
The tour continues with a visit to a truly unique site: a 16th-century mill designed by Leonardo da Vinci — a masterpiece of Renaissance engineering nestled in the landscape. Nearby, you'll explore our historic olive press, where generations have turned olives into green gold with care and reverence.As you stroll through the estate, you'll feel the presence of its noble past — once home to the Marchesi Strozzi, whose legacy of elegance, culture, and respect for the land still lives in every stone, every drop of oil, every whispered story.
The experience concludes with a guided tasting of our organic extra virgin olive oil, paired with fresh Tuscan bread. A sensory journey through herbal notes, hints of artichoke, almond, and green tomato — a pure celebration of the land.Book your tour and let yourself be enchanted by a world where nature leads, history lives, and olive oil is a sacred ritual.
