When your clients dream of Greece, they probably imagine blue seas, white-washed villages, and delicious food. But one of the most meaningful ways to dive into Greek culture is through its ancient culinary traditions — and few are as revered as olive oil.
With TPO Travel, you can offer them a one-of-a-kind Olive Oil Tasting at the Mykonian Farm, a warm, hands-on experience that celebrates Greece’s most iconic ingredient and reveals the deep connections between food, history, and hospitality.
Discover the Liquid Gold of Greece
Long before olive oil became a pantry staple around the world, it was an essential part of Greek life — and for good reason. Even Homer himself sang its praises, calling olive oil “Liquid Gold,” while the famous physician Hippocrates dubbed it the “Great Healer.”
For centuries, Greeks have depended on olive oil as more than just a cooking fat — it’s a symbol of health, culture, and tradition. Today, the world is finally catching up to what Greeks have known for millennia: extra virgin olive oil is one of the most healthful fats on Earth, packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and beneficial fatty acids that form the heart of the Mediterranean diet.
And there’s nowhere better to discover the magic of Greek olive oil than at the Mykonian Farm, a family-run farm that welcomes your clients to slow down, savor the flavors, and embrace local life.
A Personal Journey into Olive Oil Tasting
This exclusive olive oil experience is designed to delight all the senses — and to teach your clients a skill they’ll treasure forever. TPO Travel handles every detail, starting with a warm welcome at the Mykonian Farm. Visitors are greeted by local hosts who live and breathe Greek tradition and are passionate about sharing their knowledge.
The tour begins with a brief introduction to the history of olive oil in Greece, putting its significance into context. Then it’s time for the fun part — the olive oil tasting itself.
Learn the Secrets of Tasting Like a Connoisseur
Your clients will discover that olive oil tasting is an art, much like wine tasting. Under the guidance of an experienced local expert, they’ll practice the three key steps:
- Smell — Take in the oil’s aromas. A good extra virgin olive oil can smell like freshly cut grass, green fruits, almonds, or wild herbs.
- Taste — Savor the texture and flavor. Guests will explore the balance between fruity sweetness and characteristic bitterness and spiciness that are markers of top-quality oils.
- Evaluate — Assess the finish. Does it leave a pleasant, slightly peppery aftertaste that tingles the back of the throat? That’s a classic sign of a high-quality, polyphenol-rich extra virgin oil.
Your clients will also gain insight into the vocabulary professionals use — terms like “fruity,” “bitter,” and “spicy” — so they can appreciate the differences between oils like a true connoisseur.
And the most important skill of all? Learning to identify the tell-tale signs of a defective oil versus a premium one, so they’ll never choose a poor-quality product again.
Discover the True Meaning of Extra Virgin
Why do some olive oils taste so exquisite, and others leave a greasy aftertaste? What does “extra virgin” really mean — and why is this designation so important? These are the kinds of questions your clients will explore during this interactive session.
By the end of the tasting, they’ll understand how careful harvesting, milling, and storage processes impact the flavor and nutritional value of olive oil — and they’ll appreciate the difference that quality truly makes.
And to top it off, they’ll receive a list of expert tasting notes to take home, allowing them to shop for olive oils with confidence and passion after their trip.
A True Farm Experience — Beyond Just Tasting
Of course, this experience is much more than a tasting session. Hosted at the beautiful Mykonian Farm, this tour allows your clients to embrace rural life for a few hours — to feel the breeze on their face, see the animals grazing, and take a break from the lively pace of the island’s tourist centers.
And to enhance the tasting, the farm team will often present a snack of local produce — olives, cheeses, bread, and herbs grown right on-site — making the experience feel like a heartfelt invitation into a traditional Mykonian home.
Your clients will leave feeling like they didn’t just taste the flavors of Greece; they truly lived them.
