LA Organic Experience: Olive Oil Tour in Ronda

LA Organic Experience Olive oil tour

The LA Organic Experience offers visitors the chance to explore an organic olive farm near Ronda and discover how olive oil is produced, from the olive groves through to the finished oil.

We visited with our family and joined a guided tour around the estate, where we learned about the organic farming methods used at LA Organic and saw how the landscape combines olive groves, gardens, vineyards and artistic installations.

The tour finishes with a tasting of LA Organic’s organic olive oils, giving you the opportunity to compare different varieties and learn more about the flavours and characteristics of the oils.

There is even a fantastic guest house here if you want to stay in this idylic setting. (Scroll down to the bottom of this page for prices and reservation details)
