Welcome to the wine and olive mill tour in Malaga. Would you like to discover the real ancient culture of the wine and olive oil the south of Spain? Let´s join us and come to visit a cooperative working since 1977, where few producers deciced to become partners working together in order to process their products and sell them locally.
More than 40 years later, the younger relatives of the original funders produce about one million of liters of wine and same quantity of olive oiapart that thousands of kilograms of snack olives, exporting it abroad, but keeping the same working essence taught by their ancestors.
A small town with a very rich soil
We will travel crossing the mountains reaching the fields, about 45 minutes’ driving distance from the center of Malaga, where we will see green landscapes full of different trees in an environment that is hard to imagine is possible to see in the really dry south of Spain. Stopping in a field we will have a pretty walk of 25 minutes learning about the particularities of the grapes and olives productions, surrounded by vines planted in 1960 and olive trees older than 300 years.
After our walk, we will drive five minutes to the big factory where the producers take their fruits to be converted into the final product. We will see all the machines and processes necessary for the obtention of the best quality in a guided tour of 45 minutes approximately, finishing with a tasting of snack olives just extracted with a pipe, on the old way, from the huge tanks buried underground where thousands of kilograms of olives are being cured in brine.
And finally, we will reach the (full of oak barrels) wine aging room, where will have the tasting of three different olive oils + 5 wines, all produced there, with plenty of tapas such as tortilla, cheese, olives… and more.
If at the end of the tour you liked any of their products will be a chance to purchase any of them directly from the producers, making it really cheap. (About 4 € for a bottle of wine).
It´s not just the tasting
The tasting will be delicious, guaranteed, but it will be also a very interesting lesson about the old art of basic food production since thousands of years ago. All mixed with history and culture, making the day full of tastes but also full of useful knowledge about Spain and even ourselves.
Join us and discover places where that tourists never reach, where no one speaks English.
