Experience the olive harvest live!

What does the experience consist of?

Can you imagine spending a whole day as an olive farmer in Cervià de les Garrigues? This is the most complete experience we offer: a full day taking part in the olive harvest and witnessing the olive oil production process at our mill. Enjoy a guided tour, an olive oil tasting, a delicious lunch among the olive trees, and take home a complimentary bottle of freshly produced olive oil. WHAT'S INCLUDED? 1.- Welcome and introduction Meet our team at Les Cometes Estate. 2.- Guided tour of the olive mill Visit the mill before it starts operating and discover each stage of the production process without the noise of the machinery. 3.- Hands-on olive harvesting Take part in the harvest using both modern mechanical equipment (a trunk shaker) and traditional methods with harvest nets and hand tools. Experience first-hand how olives have been harvested for generations. 4.- Olive oil tasting Taste 8 different olive oils (3 extra virgin olive oils and 5 flavoured oils), along with a selection of olive-based products such as jams, olive pâtés, table olives, and more. 5.- Live olive oil production Follow the olives from the grove to the mill and watch every step of the process: cleaning, milling, malaxation, centrifugation, and finally the extraction of fresh extra virgin olive oil. 6.- Lunch among the olive trees Enjoy a traditional lunch featuring roasted vegetables, pa amb tomàquet (Catalan tomato bread), cheese, cured ham, croquettes, Spanish omelette, cake, coffee, and drinks (wine, beer, soft drinks, and water). Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and low-salt options are available upon advance request. 7.- Self-guided countryside walk Take a leisurely walk along our signposted trail to explore the surroundings and enjoy the landscape after lunch. 8.- Complimentary gift Take home a bottle of freshly pressed olive oil produced on the very same day.
