The Olive Oil Enthusiast Tour is a semi private tour for those who want a deeper insight into olive oil production, quality and tasting.
Owner and head of olive oil production Chloe Dimitriadis personally guides this tour which includes secrets of organic and sustainable cultivation, techniques of harvesting for quality, a guided tour of our production process and a mini seminar on what olive oil quality means and how to be able to distinguish it. This tour is unique in that we explore in details how two different production methods using two different varieties can produce high quality olive oil. The group will then sit at our restaurant garden area and experience the organoleptic properties of olive oil in a guided tasting by glass which will include two different Cretan olive varieties produced in two different production methods as well two naturally flavored oils with citrus fruit. The tour is followed by a light lunch prepared by our chef using seasonal local ingredients paired with our olive oil. One complimentary drink is included.
Menu can be flexible according to dietary restrictions or allergies as long as we know in advance.
Sample menu: Cretan Bruschetta with caramelized tomatoes and goat cheese, minoan cheese pie, raw zucchini salad with seasonal fruits, Blast of citrus dessert
Tour is available April – September , Tuesday-Friday
Please book at least one day in advance otherwise booking confirmation is not guaranteed
We learned so much from visiting the Biolea farm — who knew there was so much to potentially learn about olive oil production? Our tour was fascinating and informative, and the olive oils are so delicious.
Great factory tour with lots of details about olive oil production. Learned so much about the differences in olive oil quality levels and production methods!
It was the first time we visited an olive farm and we could not have chosen better!
The road to the plant is spectacular, great views!!!
Our experience at Biolea Olive Oil Estate was fantastic. Chloe, daughter of the owner, was friendly and knowledgeable about olive trees, olives, and of course the organic oil production for the family brand.
Our guide was very interesting. The place is a little bit hard to find but it worth it! It’s a beautiful place to visit and the olive oil is very good!
I had a very kind email contact with Chloe and we’ve visited biolea today. We had tour through the fabric, with a lot of information. It was very interesting and Chloe was very friendly! At the end of the tour you had the chance to try the different oils! Really good! We can recommend it!!!
