Come and pick olives in Tuscany

An active holiday in the autumn. Take a break and enjoy the autumn sun in Tuscany. The olive harvest is in October, when temperatures in Tuscany are still pleasant and with plenty of sunshine. During the shortest days of the year you are outdoors the whole day.

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 to explore Tuscany with a visit to the cities of Pisa and Lucca.

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.
