1.Balestrate Olive Grove Tour: Wine and Olive Oil Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 105 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $67Our pick

Walk Balestrate olive groves with Francesco, then taste family-made EVOO, Sicilian wine, balsamic vinegar, and lunch at his grandparents home.

“An experience unlike any other — Francesco’s olive grove tour was as peaceful as it was beautiful and informative. The olive oil and wine tasting was exceptional, and we had the distinct pleasure of his grandparents’ company during the experience. The product quality is *fantastic* (we bought oil and wine to take home to the US) — but best of all, it felt like we were a part of the family. Would absolutely recommend to any and all who visit the area. We will be back! Mille grazie!”
