As an exclusive bonus, guests will also be introduced to a rare opportunity to visit the family’s estate in Greece during olive harvest season—experiencing their groves, harvest and freshly pressed olive oil firsthand.

The Olive Oil Experience

Go behind the bottle and discover the journey of authentic extra virgin olive oil—from growing and harvesting the olives to milling, testing and tasting the finished oil.

Our Greek producer partners will share generations of knowledge about how olive varieties, harvest timing, freshness and production methods influence the flavor and quality of extra virgin olive oil.

Guests will enjoy a guided tasting of exceptional Greek olive oils while learning about the family, the land and the centuries-old traditions behind each bottle.

Guests will have the opportunity to learn more about an immersive olive harvest trip to the family’s estate in Greece—where you can walk through their olive groves, participate in the harvest, follow the olives from tree to mill and taste freshly pressed extra virgin olive oil at its absolute freshest.

The all-inclusive journey combines hands-on olive harvesting, luxury accommodations, authentic Mediterranean cuisine, ancient history, breathtaking coastlines and meaningful cultural experiences that take you far beyond a traditional tour.

Additional trip details and reservation opportunities will be available during the evening.
