Olive Oil Pick and Taste

Highlights

A genuine ancestral tradition. Hand-picking Galician olives connects you directly to a practice that defines the Beira Alta region.

From grove to press, in one visit. Following the olives from harvest to the oil press gives a complete, hands-on view of the process.

Fresh oil, tasted at the source. Tasting the golden oil right after pressing is a rare freshness most olive oil tours can’t offer.

Two extra stops most tours skip. The Olive Oil Cooperative and Pedagogical Farm visits add real educational depth beyond a standard harvest.
