Underground oil mill and organic wines in Cutrofiano
Go below ground where olive oil was once made, then come back up for organic wines.
What you do
An underground oil mill is a mill dug into the rock below ground, where olives were once pressed. In Cutrofiano you go down into one and see for yourself where and how olive oil was made in Salento.
Then you come back up and switch glasses: the second part is a tasting of organic wines. Two stories from the same countryside, oil and wine, in ninety minutes.
It is by appointment. Tell me when you would like to go and we set the time.
By bike
Cutrofiano makes a good destination for a day riding inland. I would put it in the afternoon: ride, go down into the mill and finish with the wines once the cycling is done.
I build the self-guided route, with GPX and a roadbook, around your appointment. If you are staying far from our bases in Lecce, San Foca and Calimera, I can bring the bike to you for a surcharge based on distance. It also works as an outing on a day without the bike.
