Mediterranean Tastes - Olive Oil & Wine Shore Excursion

Dip a piece of crusty Maltese bread into local, cold-pressed olive oil and drink a glass of wine or two while savouring typical Maltese delicacies! Inspired by our love for wine, olive oil and Mediterranean delights, this half-day excursion offers pure bliss for guests craving an authentic Maltese experience. Immerse yourselves in the history and culture of olive oil making as our hosts will show you the different types of olives and how the oil is extracted using the traditional pressing method. Do you know what makes our olive oil so unique? Like other Mediterranean countries, Malta's warm climate and ruddy alkaline soils make it ideal for olive cultivation. And the wine? Malta is one of the smallest wine-producing countries in the world, meaning that the export of local wines is limited but its production is a source of fascination as recognised by Michelin Guide: "A trip to these islands is an opportunity to discover a dynamic wine industry, which is growing while reconnecting with its long history"
