Let yourself be guided on a timeless sensory journey, into the most authentic heart of the Sicilian countryside.
In Balestrate, overlooking the picturesque Gulf of Castellammare, nature tells its story through its scents, colors, and flavors. Here, amidst ancient olive trees and landscapes that seem suspended in time, an experience designed for those who wish to discover the truest soul of Sicily comes to life.
You will be welcomed by Francesco, an oenologist and olive oil producer, who will accompany you on a guided walk through the olive groves. An immersive journey where every plant, every gesture, and every story reveals the secrets of extra virgin olive oil production, handed down through time and preserved with passion.
But this is not just a tour.
It is the experience of authentic hospitality, that of a Sicilian family, where the value of shared time is still central. Here, everything also stems from the memories of grandparents, from their teachings, from simple and true gestures that have shaped a tradition built on respect for the land and love for what is created.
After the walk in the olive grove, you will be welcomed as a family guest for an intimate and genuine tasting. You will be able to savor our extra virgin olive oil, three selected wines, and balsamic vinegars, accompanied by a selection of typical Sicilian traditional products.
An experience that is not just about taste, but about sharing.
A table, stories told, smiles, and flavors that speak of home.
The total duration of the tour is approximately 2 hours.
The experience is available in several languages — English, French, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, and Italian — to welcome visitors from all over the world and allow everyone to experience an authentic piece of Sicily.
Because here you are not a visitor.
You are a guest.

Who we are
Francesco is a boy who speaks five languages. He has traveled the world: from Italy to France, from China to California. He has lived in different cultures and cities, but the roots of his heart have remained tied to the family vineyards and olive groves. He knows that in none of the places he has lived is there oil and wine as good and pure as that of his homeland.
