“Attending this olive oil tasting was truly the best decision we made on our last day in Corfu. The dishes were absolutely delicious, and we were pleasantly surprised by the unique and thoughtful pairings of food with various types of olive oil. Our guide played a big role in making the experience even more enjoyable—her warm and kind personality added a special touch to the whole event. She shared all the information with clarity and passion, and we left not only satisfied, but also more knowledgeable. I can only recommend this experience to anyone visiting Corfu.”
Taste four Cretan olive oils beneath ancient trees, pair them with local food, and learn how to choose, cook, and preserve oil.
“Our olive oil tasting was very interesting, educational, and relaxing. Aspassia was very friendly, warm, and knowledgeable. The kittens in the grove were adorable and friendly, which was a nice bonus :) a really fun way to get out of town (we stayed in Chania) and do something a little different. I feel so much better informed about olive oil after this tasting! Highly recommend.”
