Frantoi aperti

Frantoi Aperti is an extraordinary event that transforms Umbrian olive mills into places of sharing and discovery, where the tradition of extra virgin olive oil meets the authentic hospitality of the region. During the weekends of October and November, visitors from across Italy can immerse themselves in the beating heart of Umbrian olive culture, breathing in the scents of the countryside and witnessing firsthand the olive pressing process. It's an experience that goes far beyond a simple tourist tour: here every gesture, every aroma, every taste tells stories of generations of farmers and their dedication to cultivating this ‹green gold›. The event offers much more than mill visits alone. The program includes fascinating excursions through historic olive groves, interactive workshops designed to introduce children to nature and tradition, plus concerts that create magical atmospheres in the heart of Umbrian countryside. Artisanal markets become windows of authenticity, where you can discover zero-kilometer products and local craftsmanship that characterize these territories still far from the most beaten tourist paths. For food lovers, the most eagerly awaited moment is undoubtedly the tasting: warm bread accompanied by freshly pressed new oil, a sensory experience that captures the essence of Umbrian cuisine. Frantoi Aperti represents the perfect opportunity for those wishing to connect with the land, discover authentic flavors, and understand the value of biodiversity and agricultural sustainability in Italian territory.
