    Convenient and educational olive oil tasting

    We are staying in downtown Monopoli in the square and wanted to do an olive oil tasting. This was a very close location at a local shop, and had received good reviews. Mary was very informative and friendly, and we tasted not only their olive oils, but several spreads (olive, sundried tomato, artichoke) and toppings (eggplant, onion) on bread, small glass of red wine, and prickly pear creme liqueur. They do sell all of these products in their store, so obviously a win-win for everyone as we bought several items to take home, but we enjoyed it all, and price was very affordable. Would highly recommend:)

    Great experience.

    A very knowledgable guide. Discussed about and offered tastings of 7 oils and local products. We did right before a cooking class and enhanced our class. Highly recommend.

    Response from the operator: Thanks!

    Olive oil tasting - an enjoyable 20 minutes!

    What a great 20 minutes! Tasted six different olive oils - had never done this before and didn’t know it was even a ‘thing’! We were taught how to understand what great olive oil tastes like. In addition we were given breads with local savoury and jams which came as an added surprise. The host was very friendly and after we purchased a couple of oils she gave us a free one too. 20 minutes is the perfect amount of time and it cost less than £9 per person. The venue is made up of three shops so as well as oil you can buy wine, ceramics and gifts. Definitely worth a visit.

    Great Experience

    Presentation was done by knowledgable, friendly woman with a very organized presentation. She had no trouble communicating to us in English. We learned more than we had anticipated. We highly recommend this presentation on olive trees and olive oil. It was an absolute pleasure to meet her and learn so much.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much Tim! It was a pleasure for me 😊

    Private Oil Tasting Experience in Monopoli: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Alberobello & Locorotondo.

    How much does Private Oil Tasting Experience in Monopoli cost?

    +

    Prices start at $11 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Alberobello & Locorotondo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Oil Tasting Experience in Monopoli take?

    +

    Plan for about 0.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Alberobello & Locorotondo is not rushed.

    Is Private Oil Tasting Experience in Monopoli worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Alberobello & Locorotondo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Oil Tasting Experience in Monopoli?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Oil Tasting Experience in Monopoli suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Oil Tasting Experience in Monopoli?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Alberobello & Locorotondo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Alberobello & Locorotondo and add a light layer if any part of the 0.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Oil Tasting Experience in Monopoli start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Alberobello & Locorotondo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Alberobello & Locorotondo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Alberobello & Locorotondo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Monopoli Shared tour by Gozzo boat to the Polignano caves, Boat tour from Monopoli to the Polignano caves with aperitif, Alberobello Guided Segway and Mini Golf Cart Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Alberobello & Locorotondo?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Alberobello & Locorotondo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Private Oil Tasting Experience in Monopoli?

    +

    Included: Carbonated beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Private Oil Tasting Experience in Monopoli?
