Volterra is the legendary Etruscan city made of snow-white alabaster.
After walking through its alleys, squares, and mediaeval buildings, this itinerary will give you the chance to visit a genuine olive oil mill. Here the production of oil follows a millenary tradition that still demands the manual harvest of olives. You will become a sommelier of olive oil, discovering olive tree cultivation methods, the special composition of the local soil, and the many stages of production: from milling to bottling.
The luncheon at the end of your visit will give new meaning to the morning’s learnings. On the way back you will stop at the Balze, where the stone vertical walls born from the fall of rocky piles offer an amazing view on the surrounding hills.
