Visite et dégustation d'huile d'olive avec sommelier - Kalentzi, excursion d'une journée à Athènes

Mariana and the oil tasting were great. We learned history, and what to take back home. Hope their harvest is great this year

My husband and I went with two friends to Oleosophia for an olive oil tasting experience. What an amazing experience! Awesome views and gracious hostesses. Marianna (owner) and her friend Melina set a lovely table for our tasting experience with bread, tzatziki, grapes, yogurt, oranges, olives cooked with sugar(an unexpected delicious treat), water (to cleanse the palate), etc. Marianna was an excellent teacher regarding all things olive… how the trees are cared for and harvested, how to correctly taste and evaluate olive oils, and how to pair other food items with olive oils. She put out various olive oils out for us to sample. We learned how to evaluate bouquet, level of bitterness, and level of pungent taste. We also learned how to identify if an oil was subquality and even rancid. Both Marianna and Melina were warm and personable and passionate about the Oleosophia products. The oils and grape syrup products we sampled were delicious and we have placed the first of many orders with them! Lorri and Bob Golin, Maine USA

This olive oil tasting at Oleosophia was one of the highlights of our trip to Greece! From the very beginning, Marianna welcomed us with warmth and genuine passion. She is so knowledgeable and answered every question with enthusiasm, making the experience feel personal and engaging. You can tell she truly loves what she does. The setting is stunning — right in the middle of the olive groves — which makes it feel authentic and far from the usual tourist stops. We tasted several different olive oils, guided step by step on how to appreciate their flavors. On top of that, the food served alongside was extremely generous, much more than we expected. For the quality and quantity, the value is outstanding. Honestly, it feels like it should cost more. This is not a “standard” tasting; it is a genuine cultural and culinary experience, with award-winning products of the highest quality. Practical tips for travelers: • It’s about a 90-minute drive from Athens, perfect as a day trip or stopover when exploring the Peloponnese. • Easy to combine with nearby villages and sites, so you can make a full day of it. • Parking was simple and convenient. • Family-friendly — our young child also enjoyed being there. • Best to book in advance to secure your spot, as the experience feels small and personalized. I would recommend this experience to absolutely anyone — food lovers, families, couples, or anyone who wants to connect with Greek culture in a meaningful way. Definitely worth the detour!

Wonderful experience. The kids enjoyed it and we learned so much about olive oil and the process! Book this tour; you won’t regret it! The Olive grove is family owned and the group was so nice and helpful. Marianna is super sweet and their olive oil is delicious!

My hubby and I decided to book a last minute olive oil tour & tasting for my parents and especially after a month traveling around Europe. They had no idea or what to expect during this tour but my oh my, days have passed and until now they continue to share stories with a smile on their faces and how happy they are that they get to see this once in a lifetime olive oil tour and tasting experience. My dad is 70 yrs old and while mommy is 63 and English as not their 1st language but Marianna adjusted and catered for them and have explained everything so thoroughly and passionately. They definitely enjoyed this private Olive tour and understanding the process and the quality of olive oil they produce is just to the highest quality ever! Marianna definitely went above and beyond and they felt home. She was very accommodating and even arranged a winery visit for me and my hubby after. We ended up buying 6 bottles of olive oil and will definitely order more and have it shipped to the USA! Such a gem and a blessing to be able to take them here! I am sure you will enjoy and feel the same way too!
