Small family run operation with fantastic hosts that explain the process as you walk around the small facility. If you are going in offseason do not expect to see equipment operating. A fantastic olive sampling activity at the end of the tour with wine, beer, non-alcohol beverages and snacks provided. A nice touch to end an informative tour. Good to do on rainy day.”
