Everywhere around beautiful views of the hilly landscape
Programme
A fully arranged 5 day package. You stay in an authentic Tuscan farmhouse in a double room with private bathroom. A delicious breakfast every day. The first evening a 4-course welcome dinner. On the picking days the stay is full board and you will be spoiled. We also take a day out to explore Tuscany with a visit to the city of Volterra.
We are going to pick olives at Maria Angela's place, a small organic agriturismo with its own olive grove. You are here with us, the staff and other guests in the olive grove to harvest the olives. During the stay we also visit the oleificio, the olive press, so we can see how the olives are processed into olive oil. The picking is on a voluntary basis, you determine your own pace and rest breaks. The picking takes place in groups with guidance present. It is only picked in dry weather. |

"An amazing experience"
A fantastic start to our trip through Italy! “Picking olives in Tuscany”. After this experience, we will never look at an olive and olive oil the same again. It was educational but above all very enjoyable. Vincent and Osvaldo do everything they can to make the guests happy. Agriturismo I Moricci is a fairly simple but fine accommodation. Every day there was a delicious breakfast and lunch. In the evenings, delicious Italian cooking was served in the cozy kitchen, or we went out for dinner. The day trip to Volterra was also great. We really enjoyed it and would love to come back!

A journey with olive picking in the lead role, instructive from picking to olive oil. Pleasant hosts, who have provided and provided the necessary culinary treats. In addition to being very good hosts, Osvaldo and Vincent were also very good tour guides, they provided us with the necessary information about the agriturismo I Moricci; Volterra and Italy in general. A huge experience!

Through Triptoscana I booked an olive picking package. Tuesday morning I still worked in the office in Amsterdam and the same day at 21: 30h I was already in Tuscany in the apartment. Two days of delicious zen olives picking with a lot of time for culinary refreshments. I explored Florence on Saturday and Sunday. The hospitality of Vincent and Osvaldo was fantastic. They did everything to give us a nice holiday. And it worked!

Really enjoyed the olive picking holiday in Tuscany and seeing the fruits of our labour being turned into extra virgin olive oil at the mill in the evening! Vincent and Osvaldo were very hospitable and we did so much more than picking olives. With the group we enjoyed great meals and wine at the farmhouse and local restaurants. I particularly enjoyed a trip to Volterra, a fascinating hilltop town. Vincent and Osvaldo brought the Etruscan and Roman roots of the town alive with their knowledge. I look forward to my next visit to Tuscany!
