In Cotignac, explore the art of olive farming with Gilles, a passionate olive farmer. Dive into the heart of its organic olive grove to discover authentic olive growing and harvesting techniques. Learn how to prune olive trees while enjoying the beauty of the surrounding landscape. The tour concludes with a tasting of different olive oils, where you can appreciate the nuances of liquid gold in his shop. A true immersion in the fascinating world of olive awaits you.
I welcome you to my plots, at the foot of the Rocher de Cotignac, for a rare immersion in the daily life of an olive artisan. During the visit, you will discover the life of a Provencal orchard, the rhythm of the seasons, the gestures of the trade, the local varieties and the secrets of olive maturity. Here, everything is lived with the senses: - the fragrance of leaves heated by the sun, the song of cicadas, the texture of the fruit under the fingers, - the light that slides between the rows of olive trees. The following tasting is a highlight: you learn to taste olive oil like wine, to recognize the ardence, bitterness, aromas of fresh herb, almond or artichoke. Each oil tells a story, each sensation opens a door to the terroir. More than just a visit, it is a sensory break, an encounter with a profession, a landscape and an intimate Provence, far from the tourist circuits. Gilles
