Overall rating

We received a very warm welcome and were looked after. The regional samples were lovingly prepared, presented and extensive. We received comprehensive information on all of our questions about production and origin. However, the providers would have liked to have known the age of the participants beforehand so that they could cater to the guests even better. We were guests with a 5-year-old, and the hostess would have liked to have been prepared for her.

We had a wonderful afternoon. Very tasty olive oil, we even took three bottles of it home with us. Very good regional cheese and wine and homemade honey! And on top of that, such a great woman who is doing this in the third generation, explained everything really well and even gave us insider tips for our next trip. They also made sure that our 1.5 year old daughter could try it if she wanted. All of this on a beautiful property

The warmth of the hostess. The very beautiful surroundings and the absolutely great snacks. The cheese selection was very good and the homemade jam and honey were simply wonderful. For us it was no longer a snack, but an evening meal. We just missed tasting the olive oil.

Very nice guided tour in a magnificent olive grove. We even had explanations in French. The dishes offered during the tasting are excellent and all come from local activity. Really a very good time that I recommend.

Great entertaining guide. Hard to hear at back of boat sometimes. Mini speaker??
