Overview
Start your experience in Matera with a private door-to-door transfer from your hotel. Travel comfortably through the Basilicata countryside to Mantenera, an organic farm in Tricarico surrounded by centuries-old olive trees and peaceful rural landscapes.
Once there, discover the authentic taste of Basilicata with a guided olive oil experience. Walk through the ancient olive grove, learn about Mantenera’s story and find out how organic extra virgin olive oil is produced with care, tradition and respect for the land.
