Description

A taste experience in the hills of Bevagna, a medieval village in the heart of Umbria, which boasts a centuries-old tradition in the cultivation of olive trees.

The family-run organic farm has been involved in the production of high quality extra virgin olive oil for generations.

You can walk through the olive grove, consisting of more than 5,000 olive trees including some centuries old, learn about the different types of fruit and cultivation methods. The panoramic terrace offers a breathtaking view of the Umbrian valley, ranging from Assisi, Spello, Foligno, Trevi and Montefalco; the visit continues in the oil mill where you will be shown the stages of processing.
