About
Conditions of saleBring comfortable shoes.
For your comfort, we advise you to arrive approximately 15 minutes before the start of the visit.
Proper attire required.
Cancellation conditions: if a customer cannot attend the visit, it will not be refunded or postponed. Only the cancellation of the visit by the organizers due to an insufficient number of participants or other reasons could lead to a possible refund or postponement. No refund will be granted to late customers.
Why is this activity not accessible to everyone?
1. Olive Grove Topography: The guided tour takes place among the trees. The ground is made up of soil, grass, and exposed olive tree roots, making progress difficult for wheelchairs, walking sticks, or people with mobility issues.
2. Overhead Obstacles: The very structure of the olive trees, with their low branches and natural spread, can pose a collision hazard for visually impaired people.
3. Unpaved Path: To access the different varieties of trees, it is necessary to use unpaved farm tracks that can be slippery or dusty depending on the weather.
4. Tasting Setup: Depending on the number of visitors, the oil tasting may take place standing or on "garden terrace"-style structures that are not always suitable for maintaining stability.
Accessibility advice: While visiting the olive groves is not recommended for people with reduced mobility, the tasting and sales area at the estate is much more accessible. Feel free to contact the olive grower to arrange a comfortable, seated chat about the local flavors.
