If you’re looking for an authentic and immersive experience in the heart of Tuscany, oleotourism at Tenuta Le Mandorlaie is an opportunity you won’t want to miss. Our organic olive tree and vineyard estate in the unspoiled region of Maremma offers visitors the chance to explore the world of organic extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), learn about sustainable farming, and enjoy the beauty of the Tuscan countryside.
Whether you want to wander through the olive groves, participate in an olive oil tasting, or relax in our charming Lavender Cottage, Tenuta Le Mandorlaie invites you to experience the essence of Tuscany through its flavors, landscapes, and traditions.
What is Oleotourism?
Oleotourism, or olive oil tourism, is a growing trend in Italy that allows visitors to discover the culture, history, and production of high-quality extra virgin olive oil. It’s an experience that goes beyond just tasting olive oil—it’s about understanding the land, the people, and the centuries-old traditions that make Tuscan EVOO one of the best in the world.
At Tenuta Le Mandorlaie, we offer a first-hand experience of how our organic olive oil is produced, from tree to bottle. You’ll get to walk through our groves, learn about our sustainable farming methods, and, of course, taste our award-winning IGP-certified organic extra virgin olive oil.
