This tour is delightful. We visited two little villages in the Luberon, enjoyed beautiful countrysides and learned so much while tasting incredible olive oil. I had tasted olive oil in Portugal and this was so so so much better! The farm and factory we visited makes approx 9 very different types of oil. The tasting process was very very well explained and I decided that olive oil for me should be a condiment. Lucille was our tour leader and made the trip so very very delightful . I highly recommend her and this unique tour.tictacsnoopy
