General tasting with the three basic types. Learned the basics and the presenter fielded questions well. This is a satellite tasting set up with small group of olive trees. The actual farm is much bigger. Facilty has a family chapel. Overall interesting to visit. The tasting needs to have the food with it, not after. Same with the wine. Didn't have olive oil available for purchase because all olives sold to cooperative so not available. Learned what to purchase with Greek olive oils.
The farm was relaxed, beautiful, and authentic Greek culture staff were truly incredible. Kind and funny. Chef was outstanding and personable. This little gem in Mykonos is undiscovered!!
It’s nothing about olive oil you set outside while cats are on you the table and everywhere you look. However the lady that talked to us was delightful , not sure how she works for the people that promise things they can’t deliver. To her I give 5 stars. For trying to occupy our group while the owners just waste your time and money. I actually thought we was going to a place that you would actually see the olive grove maybe see the process of making olive oil or even just purchase home made olive but it provides none of the above. Just a lot of cats
This was an excellent farm experience from kind and knowledgeable hosts. They educated us on olive oil from the olives through processing and finishing with tasting and smelling numerous varieties. The farm is charming and they were delightful educators.
We were able to feed the animals but the dinner was way less than expected. The price is very high for what you get. Olive tasting was ok.
Had a wonderful time. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about olive oil and it history.
The owner of the farm was knowledgeable, friendly and a great host. The food and wine were great. Would do it again.
