An Honest Look at the Tour Experience

If you’re considering this Olive Oil & Wine Tour, you’ll want to know what it really involves. The journey starts with a pickup from Plaza de la Marina in Malaga, where a friendly guide will welcome you before setting off in a small van. The entire trip is designed to give you a genuine peek into the local production scene, avoiding the usual tourist trap feel.

Scenic Drive and Arrival in Mollina

The drive north from Malaga takes about 45 minutes, weaving through mountainous terrain and into less touristy parts of Malaga province. Once you arrive in Mollina, a small town with around 5,000 residents, the real adventure begins. You get to stroll through 100% organic, pesticide-free fields—a highlight for anyone interested in sustainable farming. Walking among centuries-old vineyards, almond, and olive trees over 250 years old, you’ll learn why this land is so prized for its products.

The walk isn’t just about the views; it’s packed with insights. Our guide’s knowledge really shines here—Lorna from one review summed it up perfectly: “All wonderful.” You get a sense that this part of the tour is as much about appreciating the land as it is about tasting what it produces.

Visiting the Cooperative and Seeing Production

After the walk, you hop in the van for a quick short drive to the cooperative, which processes the fruits organically and naturally. Here, the real magic happens, although it’s hard to go wrong when you’re surrounded by fruit and olive trees that have been cultivated for generations.

Inside, you’ll walk through different sections—watching grapes turn into wine and olives into oil. The process is explained simply but effectively, giving you a new appreciation for these staples in Mediterranean life. A small, dedicated group gets exclusive access, making the experience more intimate than your typical tour.

Tasting Time: Wines, Oils, and Snacks

Now, the best part: the tasting. You’ll settle into a cozy hangar where the wines have aged in oak barrels, ready for sampling. Expect to taste five different wines—each with its own unique character—and three olive oils, each with distinctive flavors that reflect their origin.

The guide’s approach is educational but relaxed, encouraging you to savor and compare. Alongside, you’ll enjoy generous snacks like cheese, chorizo, almonds, and traditional tapas. The review from GetYourGuide highlights a guide who was “amazing, very knowledgeable and informative,” which really sets the tone for a memorable tasting session.
