We loved our experience with the Governor's Olive Mill in Corfu. It included being picked up and returned at the Port, as well as stops to see olive trees and an old fortress. At the Mill itself we learned a lot about the production of olive oil, and we sampled their olive oils with various snacks and more. And the drive to and from allowed us to see quite a bit of the island beyond just Corfu. It really was a great way to spend part of our time in Corfu, and both our tour guide and our driver were very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend if you like olive oil!
An exceptional olive oil experience with warm hospitality and outstanding quality. The tour was informative, the tasting was unforgettable, and Governor produces one of the finest high-polyphenol extra virgin olive oils I have ever tried. Highly recommended!
Such a neat place. Loved the new items in the store!
Such a neat and informative tour. The food pairings were delicious and the guides Sotiris Andriana were excellent! The fort at the end was a really nice addition!
Informative tour of The Governor Mill and it's history and change to modern mechanical methods of EVOO extraction. Also an insightful guide to their two main products and the difference between them both for purpose and aromatic flavours. The tour includes a ride out to the original 'mother' olive tree and historic tour of the fort. There is also a shop to purchase the oils as well as other products from local providers. Friendly people.
I truly enjoyed the day. We learned a lot about olive oil and it was absolutely delicious. Cool experience.
Exceptional tour. Very interesting and informative. Not only did we learn a lot about olive oil itself we learned a lot about the history of the island and the culture of oil olive on Corfu. 10 out of 10
We really enjoyed the whole experience, the tasting mad wit extra special
You will be surprised at how much there is to know about olive oil and the different types. You will never look at an olive tree the same way again.
when passion and competence meet, as there, East Westphalia offers a wonderful, educational experience. I am very grateful for that.
