What This Experience Includes
Step into the heart of Messinia’s olive-growing tradition with a unique, hands-on experience that begins in our family-owned olive grove and culminates in a guided tasting at the Lia Olive Oil Hub.
Wander through ancient olive trees as we introduce you to the lifecycle of the olive — from blossom to harvest. Learn about the different olive varieties, the traditional and modern harvesting methods, and the cultural importance of olive oil in Greek life. Depending on the season, you may even witness or take part in the harvest!
Guided Olive Oil Tasting at LIÁ Hub
After the field tour, we move to the Lia Olive Oil Hub, where you will enjoy a curated tasting session. Discover how to properly taste olive oil, identify quality characteristics, and recognise the subtle differences in aroma, colour, and flavour. The experience is accompanied by small local delicacies that highlight the richness of this liquid gold.
Whether you’re an olive oil enthusiast, a foodie, or simply curious, this experience offers a deep connection to the land, the people, and the tradition of Greek olive oil.
