Frantoi Aperti

A weekend to immerse yourself in olive groves and rummage through olive crates. You’ll learn to distinguish colours and aromas, and most importantly, indulge in tasting sessions of extra virgin olive oil made right here in Garda Trentino. Join our guided tours and sensory experiences at local mills.

If one tasting isn't enough, and you want to learn all the secrets of Garda Trentino's green gold,  join us on 1 and 2 November for a range of exclusive experiences. Registrations are open until 24 hours before the event, and if you miss the deadline, you can still book on-site, subject to availability.
