Pick Olives.
Press Oil.
Go Home Happy.
Join Oliver in the grove every October and early November. Three to four days of harvesting, pressing, tasting, and leaving with your own bottle of oil you made yourself.
Arrive at the grove
Meet Oliver and the team at the family grove in the hills of Francavilla Angitola. Coffee, bread, and the smell of ripe olives.
Harvest by hand
Get your hands dirty. Traditional hand-picking, raking, and netting — the way it's been done for centuries.
Press the same day
Watch your harvest go through the stone mill. Cold-press, same day. You'll taste the difference immediately.
Take your oil home
Leave with a labelled bottle of the oil you helped make. Plus a very good lunch and dinner at a local restaurant.
See what
awaits you.
Every October the grove comes alive. Hands in the nets, olives in the crates, and oil pressed the same afternoon. This is what it looks like.
