Customer Reviews
We were lucky to visit at harvest season. So Danielle was able to give us a great tour, showing us every step of the production as local farmers were queuing up to unload the mornings olive harvest crates. She explained so well and we got our maximum expectations fullfilled.
We had a truly unforgettable experience at Frantoio di San Gimignano! The tour was much more than we expected — a perfect mix of tradition, innovation, and passion. It started with a guided visit to the oil mill, followed by impressive interactive and multimedia installations. We especially loved the VR story about the olive journey and the video showing the family’s deep connection to olive oil production over generations. The interactive game was such a fun touch — perfect for all ages! The olive oil tasting session was both educational and delicious. We learned how to taste olive oil professionally, and it gave us a whole new appreciation for the product. We also enjoyed a variety of gastronomic tastings made with their extra virgin olive oil — everything was fresh, flavorful, and authentic. Daniella, who guided our tour, was absolutely amazing! She was knowledgeable, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what she does. She made the whole experience feel personal and special. We ended our visit at their lovely shop, which offers not just their high-quality olive oils, but also delicious food products and cosmetics based on olive oil. We couldn’t leave empty-handed! Highly recommended if you're visiting San Gimignano — a beautiful, enriching, and delicious experience.
While going to San Gimignano you should visit this place. You can participate in Olive tasting and get a tour around the factory. Our guide Daniela was fantastic and really nice . We had the possibility to taste diffrent types of olive oils . There is also a shop where you can buy many products made out of olive.
