Carve out an hour.

A small family vineyard and olive grove became one of those vacation detours you remember because somebody cared enough to make it personal.

THE VERDICTGO — TASTE THE WINE. BUY THE OIL.

THE EXPERIENCE

While staying at nearby Hôtel Marinca & Spa, Ines helped arrange our visit. A lovely woman met us on her day off for a short tour. The grounds were beautiful, the wine delicious, and the olive oil immediately became one of our two favorites.

WHAT WORKED

It felt personal rather than packaged. We liked the wine and oil enough to have both shipped home. Bonus points to the vineyard puppy who made friends with us.

WHAT DIDN’T

Honestly? Nothing worth bitching about.

WORTH IT?

Yes. The original review supports the recommendation.

THE LAST WORD
GO — TASTE THE WINE. BUY THE OIL.

“I’m looking for reasons to recommend them. They just have to earn it.”
