🫒 Olive Oil Tasting in Venice — A Journey of Flavor, Tradition & Connection (Virtual & In-Person)
Ciao dear friends! 🇮🇹✨ How are you today?
When travel feels complicated and far-off dreams feel closer than ever, we want to bring a little piece of Italy directly into your home — the true taste of the Venetian hills, bottled with love and tradition.
Today, we invite you to be part of something special: supporting small, independent Italian olive oil producers while treating yourself (and your loved ones) to an unforgettable experience. Because even if you can’t hop on a plane to Italy… Italy can come to you — with the scent, the flavor, and the magic of its land. 🫒🌿
And for those already planning their next Venetian adventure (because yes, dreams do become reality), this story doesn’t end on Zoom. You’ll also discover how to visit these olive groves in person, taste oils straight from the source, and turn a simple product into a lasting memory.
💚 Why Supporting Local Olive Oil Producers Matters
The pandemic changed the world in unexpected ways. In Italy, small farming communities — especially those nestled in the hills outside Venice — were hit hard. Family-run olive farms that depend on tourism and exports saw visitors vanish overnight.
For these producers, olive oil isn’t just a product. It’s their history, their craft, their identity. 🌿
- 🧔♂️ Family farms: passed down through generations, rooted in centuries-old traditions.
- 🌱 Sustainable methods: respectful of nature and the land, with no shortcuts.
- 🫒 Hand-picked olives: harvested and cold-pressed to preserve their soul.
Without support, many of these artisans face uncertain futures — and with them, centuries of culinary heritage could fade away.
👉 By buying directly from local producers (and joining tastings like this), you help preserve Italy’s cultural and culinary legacy — while receiving something priceless in return: a taste of authenticity.
If you’re curious about more ways to support Venetian artisans, explore our hands-on experiences like the Venice Hands-On Workshops — from glass and mask-making to traditional crafts.
🌿 Introducing Our Special Initiative: An Authentic Olive Oil Tasting Experience
- 🫒 Purchase authentic olive oil straight from the rolling hills around Venice.
- 💻 Join an exclusive online tasting, live from Italy to your home.
- 👨🌾 Meet the farmer and learn about real Italian olive oil, pairing, and traditional recipes.
- 🌟 Bonus: this oil isn’t exported to the U.S. yet — you’ll be among the first to taste it outside Italy!
This isn’t just another gourmet product. It’s a bridge between you and the land of Veneto. 🍞✨
👉 Want to take things one step further? Combine your tasting with a countryside day trip such as our Prosecco Hills Tour or Flavors of Veneto Experience.
🫒 What Makes This Olive Oil So Special
Our olive oil comes from the sun-kissed hills just beyond Venice, where mineral-rich soils and Mediterranean breezes create ideal conditions for exceptional olives.
🧊 Cold-Pressed Perfection
The olives are hand-harvested and pressed at low temperatures to preserve their flavor, aroma, and nutrients. No shortcuts. No industrial processing.
🌳 Single-Estate Craftsmanship
Each bottle comes from one farm — no blends, no mass-market mixing. Just honest, authentic oil from a passionate Venetian producer.
🫒 Extra Virgin Quality
Only the best olives are selected, resulting in a vibrant, fruity oil with notes of artichoke, pepper, and green almond. One taste and you’ll understand why Italians drizzle it on everything.
