Open Oil Mills: a Journey through the Scents, Colors, and Tastings of the Green Gold of Garda Trentino

Come and immerse yourself in the World of extra virgin olive oil from Garda Trentino in a sensory journey through the Mills and Farms

Every year, with the arrival of autumn, Garda Trentino celebrates the peak of the olive growing season with Frantoi Aperti (Open Olive Oil Mills), an event that invites you to fully immerse yourself in the world of Garda Trentino DOP Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It's an experience that engages all the senses, a true tribute to the excellence born between the lake and the mountains.

On Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd November 2025 , several oil mills and farms in Garda Trentino will open their doors to welcome visitors with sensory itineraries and special initiatives.
Among the most representative participants are:
 

  • Agraria Riva del Garda (Riva del Garda)

  • Domus Olivae OlioCRU (Riva del Garda)

  • Madonna delle Vittorie (Arco)

  • Agriturismo Maso Bòtes (Arco)

  • Frantoio Brioleum (Arco)

  • Frantoio Bertamini (Bolognano)

  • Acetaia del Balsamico Trentino (Tenno)
     

Participating in "Frantoi Aperti" means stepping into the production sites to witness the magic of olive transformation. You'll immediately be enveloped by the intoxicating, intensely herbaceous aroma of the freshly extracted "oily must." The culinary experience is the heart of the event: during guided tastings, you'll have the opportunity to sample new olive oil, discovering its unmistakable delicacy and the spicy notes that characterize the northernmost of Europe's PDO oils.

The event, part of the broader Month of Taste program, is a unique opportunity to interact with producers and understand the harmony between the local cultivar, Casaliva, and the lake's microclimate.

Come and experience a weekend of authentic flavors, savoring the essence of a unique region.
