Our Olive Oil and the Capparrina’s Oasis

It’s olive harvest season and time to taste fresh oil: immerse yourself in the Oasi of Capparrina, the Mediterranean biodiversity haven where Planeta’s extra virgin olive oil is born.

The scent of fresh olive oil is already in the air, and La Foresteria Planeta invites you to experience this magical time with a special offer. Throughout the harvest and production season, you can stroll through olive groves nestled in the Mediterranean scrub of the Oasi of Capparrina, join in the harvest firsthand, and, of course, taste the freshly pressed olive oil.

The Planeta family’s olive grove, located in Capparrina near Menfi, is an oasis by the sea. It is home to 13,000 olive trees and numerous animal and plant species, including the rare Francolin, a bird once nearly extinct that has returned to these groves. If you’re lucky, you might spot one.

This is where our olive oil is born, and here, you’ll have the chance to witness each stage of production—from handpicking the olives to their arrival at the mill, from pressing to extraction. Finally, you’ll enjoy a tasting of the three Planeta olive oil varieties, all in the joyful and festive atmosphere that surrounds every new harvest.

Offer includes:

  • A stay at La Foresteria with breakfast included
  • Welcome amenities in your room upon arrival
  • A guided tour of the olive grove and Planeta mill at the Oasi of Capparrina
  • Hands-on participation in the olive harvest* and a tasting of the three Planeta olive oil varieties
  • A complimentary bottle of freshly pressed olive oil
  • Free room upgrade to a higher category (subject to availability)

*The harvest takes place from Monday to Friday, weather permitting. We recommend wearing suitable clothing.
