Private Oil Tasting Tour
We're sorry. This tour is no longer available.
Overview
Olive oil is a basic element of the Mediterranean diet, where the most of the meals are served with an olive oil bottle on the side. For this reason, having this experience is a way of immersing yourself in the Catalan Culture.
This experience will show you the magnificent world of this liquid gold at the same time that you enjoy the beautiful countryside of Vall d’Hortons. Walking along the millenary organic olive groves, you will enjoy the quietness of the landscape with the fantastic views of Montserrat Mountains.

This is a terrific tour. This is must for folks that like food and great olive oil. The tour shared all facets of the growth of olive trees and how olive oil is pressed. The sharing of all the different types of oil made from the different olives was very educational. I recommend this tour for everyone. The tour guide and the Olive Oil Company employees were more than fantastic. The pride in their work was very evident. The tasting experience, wine and tapas were exceptional.LBHoch

We spent a glorious 10 days touring all of the must-see sights, but ended our vacation with the private oil tasting tour--which was an interesting change of pace. We learned so much about how olive oil is made, how to distinguishes good olive oil. We loved walking the beautiful landscape of the olive tree plantings and the intimate environment where the tasting was held. We were so happy to be able to bring some of the amazing oils home for ourselves and as gifts. Would definitely recommend this trip and Barcelona Discovery. Melanie was just awesome to work with!akprescott8

She has quaint and unique places to take you for super affordable prices, and mostly everything is private if you like. The Olive Oil Tour was great and informative. The property was beautiful, and I definitely recommend buying some chocolate bars (made with olive oil.)388tain_t

É o tipo de experiência que se vale viver. A Melanie é uma pessoa extremamente atenciosa, educada, e excelente no que faz. A visita a Masia foi incrível, personalizada e prazerosa. Pudemos ver desde a plantação, conhecer a história do local, e aprender muito sobre azeite, de uma forma incrivelmente agradável e divertida. Foi uma experiência única, que recomendamos a todos. Nosso maior desejo é voltar a Barcelona mais vezes, para poder fazer novos tours com a Barcelona Discovery!Similar tours
