What to expect
Two of Italy's well-loved gourmet offerings shine brightly on this full day experience. Not only will you visit an olive oil mill and a winery, you'll enjoy your very own 'La Dolce Vita', with tasting sessions in both. There's also a visit to Salò, a quaint town on the banks of Lake Garda. Julia, one of our local expert guides, says "olive oil and wine are integral parts to Italian cuisine, contributing to the rich and diverse flavours that people worldwide have grown to love. On this tour, we'll deep-dive into the heart of production, cultivation and the secrets behind top-quality produce, as well as savour the flavours."You'll start the day at the Frantoio Manestrini olive oil mill and estate. Here, you'll tour the olive groves and mill, whilst learning the secrets behind olive oil making, from pruning and harvesting to pressing. Julia says "with over 40 years on the map, Frantoio Manestrini sure know how to make a good oil. Their attention to detail is paramount in the ever-changing world of production." After, there'll be a real treat for the palate — five high-quality oils to taste along with fresh bread.With your appetite awakened, you'll head to the lakeside town of Salò for some free time to explore and grab some lunch. Your final stop of the day will be at a nearby winery. Take a tour of the estate and find out how both traditional and modern methods are used to create local wines. You'll round off with a tasting session of three wines.

The personal touch from the owners was valuable. They were very passionate about their products. The small group dynamic made it a better experience compared to previous experiences with larger groups. The winery we believe was a new experience added and was one that should be kept by TUI.

The olive oil experience was excellent. Lots of information about the family, different types of olive trees and olives. Explanation about process was done in past and how it's done now. The wine tasting was a ware of money, very little information given about the vineyard, vines, production. I don't consider 3 small glasses of wine to be wine tasting. I would recommend the olive oil tour but not the vineyard,

Excellent balance across the Olive oil experience which was highly informative. Great to spend a couple hours in Salo. Finishing with the vineyard and wine tasting. Excellent hosts I could suggest just a little more information about the growing , grape varieties and location.

Enjoyed both the olive oil mill and the winery tour. The tasting of the wines and food was excellent. Small bus isn’t as comfortable as the bigger buses. We are staying in Garda and one of the pick ups was Simone which was way out of our way and took a while to drop off because traffic was busy. Overall it was a lovely day out and would recommend it to everyone.

The guide was entertaining and informative. Salò was well worth the visit (we’ll probably go back). The olive oil visit was very informative. The winery less so however the wine tasting and hospitality were excellent.

This is a full day comprehensive tour. We were a small group of 14. The minibus was clean and comfortable. The driver was polite and courteous. Our guide, Karen was exceptional. Her knowledge of the area and culture was interesting and informative. She also has a great sense of humour! The olive oil Mill was fascinating. We tasted some incredible oils as well as learning about the olive grove, production techniques. Our Salo trip was great and the wine tour was absolutely outstanding!

Two lovely venues to visit, which were very friendly and happy to spend time with the group, particularly the winery. No pressure to purchase anything. The guide was excellent. The only criticism would be that 2 hours was too long in Salò, thought it is beautiful the heat meant that you couldn’t walk along the waterfront.

Faulty screeching air conditioning on minibus from when we got on so was faulty already. Driver had to keep turning it off. Day was far too long, we got on bus at 850 and got of at 1800!!! Awful in a cramped minibus. You should cut out the Salo visit and stick with the oil and wine. Would never have gone if knew it was going to be that long. Rep said it was due to finish at 4!

This was a great day out and good value. The oil tour and tasting was very informative, although a bit quick. We had more than 2 hours in Salò which was lovely, very nice and relaxed. The wine tasting was the most enjoyable part. Beautiful setting and a lovely family telling us about their wine production. Generous amount of nibbles and wine served and a chance to chat to the other guests. I would highly recommend. Very laid back tour and didn’t feel rushed.

Tasting was really good at both venues. Too long in Salo over lunch when most of the shops were closed for lunch, the trip was 9 1/2 hours long which is too long.

the tour guide was very informative throughout our trip. There was a medical emergency at the oil mill in which an Ambulance was called, and this was dealt with by all the Tui Reps, oil mill staff and the tour guide very swiftly. The oil mill experience was most informative and we enjoyed. The town of Salo was stunning and on our next visit to Lake Garda we will be spending the day here. Then came the winery, which was superb and would definitely be visiting again. Loved the whole day.

This was a very enjoyable and relaxed experience. The olive oil experience was informative with plenty of tasters.The visit to the area of Salo was great with around a 2 hour visit which gave you plenty of time to look around and try a local flavour. The wine tasting experience - this was greatly enjoyed by everyone - the views were fabulous looking out over the lake before seeing how the wine was made. The wine tasting and the variety of cheese, meats and bread was very generous Highly recomend
