Learn all about Umbrian organic extra virgin olive oil, with a tasting of organic wines and pairing of local products.
Have you ever wondered what makes an extra-virgin olive oil truly extraordinary — and how to recognize it at first taste?
At Tili Vini, a certified organic farm nestled in the hills that embrace Assisi, you will discover the ancient art of oil through your senses. In just two hours, you will go from curious visitors to knowledgeable tasters — with a certificate to prove it.
This is not an ordinary visit. It is an authentic sensory journey through one of Italy's most precious culinary treasures, led by a family that has been cultivating these olive trees in the Umbrian hills for generations.
What you will experience
You will start with a stroll through our centuries-old organic olive grove, where you will discover how we cultivate and care for our trees without the use of any chemicals — just patience, tradition, and a deep respect for the land.
Then we will enter the food tasting room, where the real experience will begin. You will learn to taste oil like a pro — recognizing color, aroma, bitterness, pungency, and the difference between a good oil and a truly exceptional one. We will guide you through a food tasting of our best organic extra-virgin olive oils, paired with warm bruschetta with homemade sauces and local bread, in keeping with Umbrian tradition.
In the end, you'll never look at a bottle of oil the same way again.
Next, you'll taste five organic wines, also produced by us, paired with a selection of local cured meats and cheeses, and finally the famous tozzetti della mamma.
To celebrate your new skill, you will receive an Official Certificate of Apprentice Oil Taster — a unique and personal souvenir of your experience in Assisi.
