Description

In the heart of the Málaga countryside, you enjoy a private olive oil experience that offers your family a hands on introduction to one of Andalusia’s most important traditions. Hosted on a private finca surrounded by over 200 year old olive trees, the experience immerses you in rural life, sustainability, and the cultural importance of olive oil.

You begin with a welcome aperitif before harvesting olives and learning about olive varieties, quality standards, and how olives are transformed. A guided tasting of three extra virgin olive oils helps you distinguish flavors and quality, followed by a workshop where you prepare your own traditional Spanish table olives using the harvest. The experience concludes with Andalusian tapas and a local wine tasting.

Thoughtfully paced and fully interactive, this experience keeps children engaged through practical activities while offering parents meaningful cultural insight. Private, educational, and immersive, it brings your family closer to Andalusian traditions through shared discovery.
