Further Resort Activities

Wonderful stay at COLLE VERDE and amazing wine tasting and beautiful olive oil.

My husband and I recently visited COLLE VERDE and fell in love with the area! The estate and grounds are just beautiful. We enjoyed a wine tour and explanation of olive trees, the picking and pressing process and an olive oil tasting. We loved the cooking class and lunch with wine pairings after. We left yearning to visit again.

Excellent day, lots of fun and laughter. Lots of new friends. Highly recommend! Excellent wine!

Great place. Awesome tour of the winery and olive oil areas. My wife and I really enjoyed the wine tasting.
