Oro di Giano olive grove walk and oil tasting in Umbria

A thousand-year-old olive tree still stands in the middle of the grove, and you walk straight to it.

Oro di Giano is a guided walk and tasting in an Umbrian olive grove where you stroll to a millennial tree, taste extra virgin olive oil with honey and buckwheat, and spend ninety minutes slowing down in the countryside. The walk is wheelchair accessible and suitable for all fitness levels. A live guide speaks English or Italian.

The experience

What does it feel like to stand in front of a tree that has been growing for over a thousand years? That is the center of this experience. You walk through the olive grove at a pace that lets you notice the landscape, the quiet, and the way the trees are planted. The route is not rushed. It is built around reconnecting with the countryside and breathing in the quiet that most days do not offer. The ancient olive tree at the end of the walk is a natural monument, a physical anchor to over a thousand years of history.

After the walk, you taste. The tasting includes extra virgin olive oil from the grove, honey, and buckwheat, guided by someone who knows the land and speaks either English or Italian. This is not a formal sit-down. It is a moment to savor what the grove produces and understand what makes it authentic. Bottled water is included. The whole experience runs ninety minutes, and it is designed to be a memory you bring home, not just a stop on a schedule.
