Celebrate the olive harvest in Tuscany by helping local growers pick their crop, the centerpiece of a three-night insiders’ tour offered by Luxo Italia.

Participants will learn about olive oil production and, at the end of the harvest, receive a bespoke bottle of olive oil to take home or enjoy during a traditional lunch in the olive groves.
