Tour the Olive Groves of Campania

Escape the bustling streets of Rome or the port of Civitavecchia and immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of Italian olive groves. Our carefully curated olive oil farm tours take you deep into the Campanian countryside, where ancient olive trees have been producing premium extra virgin olive oil for generations.

Adopt an Olive Tree in Italy: Your Connection to Italian Heritage

What makes this experience truly unique is the opportunity to adopt your own olive tree. Through our partnership with local olive oil producers, you can establish a lasting connection with the Italian countryside that extends far beyond your visit.

Personalized Welcome Package: Receive a personalized adoption certificate, a welcome letter, and a photograph of your tree with your name tag attached to it—a perfect keepsake from your Italian journey.

Regular Updates: Throughout the year, you’ll receive email updates about your tree’s progress, the olive grove’s activities, and insights into the food and lifestyle of this beautiful region of Italy.

Premium Olive Oil Delivery: Your adoption includes 3 liters of extra virgin olive oil (six 500ml bottles) produced from your tree and its neighboring olives, delivered directly to your home in spring with free shipping.

Return Visits Welcome: Whenever you return to Campania, you’re invited to visit your olive tree, give it a hug, and see how it’s flourishing under the Italian sun.

Seasonal Considerations and Best Times to Visit

Spring (March-May): Witness new growth, blooming olive flowers, and receive your adopted tree’s olive oil shipment.

Summer (June-August): Enjoy the Mediterranean climate with trees in full leaf and developing fruit.

Autumn (September-November): Experience harvest season, the most exciting time in the olive grove when olives are picked and pressed into fresh oil.

Winter (December-February): Discover the peaceful beauty of dormant olive trees and enjoy intimate tastings by the fireplace.
