Not far from the medieval village of Gerace, nestled in the greenery of the Calabrian hills, an authentic experience awaits you, dedicated to those who love nature, the rhythms of the countryside and the true flavours of tradition. This two-hour guided tour, followed by a restorative traditional lunch, will open the doors to an outstanding estate, where a passion for the land translates into organic products from a short supply chain.
The route begins in the estate's oil mill, where you'll discover the secrets of the production process that transforms olives into the prized local extra virgin olive oil. We then continue to the dairy, the beating heart of dairy production: here you will learn the techniques of cheese-making and, depending on the day's schedule, you may have the extraordinary opportunity to witness the stretching of Caciocavallo cheese, an artisanal ritual of rare beauty. The tour continues through the estate's farms, where you can see the animals' lives and the industrious world of bees up close.
To round off the day in style, the experience culminates with a typical Calabrian lunch served outdoors, surrounded by the estate's natural setting. The feast begins with a generous house starter served on a large central platter to be shared, a true triumph of hot fritters, homemade pickles and vegetables in oil, traditional cured meats and local cheeses. Next, you can enjoy a traditional Calabrian pasta dish, with a choice of typical sauces such as meat ragù, chickpeas or traditional meatballs. All this will be accompanied by excellent local wine and water, which are included.
A day of nature and relaxation to discover a wonderful part of Calabria.
