At the beginning of the day and after picking you up from your hotel, we will go to spend our day at the renowned Santa Julia Winery - Familia Zuccardi, located in the historic Maipú region.
The winery was founded in 1963 by engineer Alberto Zuccardi, but the beginning of the olive oil project dates from 2004, the year in which they launched their first line of oils. As of today, it has 260 hectares of its own crops located, for the most part, at the foot of the Andes mountain range, where desert conditions are ideal for the development of natural agriculture and the great thermal amplitude that favors the qualitative expression of the different varieties, highlighting the cultivation of our local variety, the Arauco, present in America for almost 500 years.
Upon arrival we will be greeted by our guide / sommelier with whom we will visit the organic garden and the olive groves. He/she will tell us about the history, the different varieties of olives, types of plants and the correct harvesting technique. Immediately after, our fun begins: we will collect the olives to create our own oil.
Once the harvesting activity is finished, we will go to the oil mill, where the entire production process is carried out. We will finish the activity by packaging and labeling our oil, which we will take with us as a souvenir.
We will complete this incredible program with a 3-courses lunch at the Pan & Oliva restaurant paired with wines.
