If you’ve ever been to an olive oil tasting or toured a mill during harvest season, you know — there’s nothing quite like experiencing olive oil fresh from the press.
This Events & Tastings section is your space to share upcoming events, meetups, festivals, tours, and tastings — wherever they’re happening around the world.
What You Can Share Here:
- Upcoming tastings, producer events, or mill tours
- Local festivals celebrating olive harvest or EVOO culture
- Educational workshops (how to taste oil professionally, for example)
- Meetups if you’re planning a local gathering for fellow enthusiasts
- Virtual tastings (they’re becoming more popular — great way to connect globally!)
A Few Quick Notes:
- Please include location, date, and contact info or signup links where possible.
- This forum isn’t affiliated with any brand or producer — events are shared by the community for the community.
- We encourage posts about events from small producers, family groves, nonprofits, and artisan-focused festivals — but any tasting opportunity that’s educational and authentic is welcome!
- No paid promotions — just real events that help people connect and experience better olive oil firsthand.
Why It Matters:
Tasting olive oil in person — especially freshly pressed oil — is one of the best ways to sharpen your palate, understand different styles, and appreciate the skill that goes into great EVOO.
From the crisp, green fire of a just-milled Picual to the buttery softness of a late-harvest Arbequina — there’s a whole world of flavor to experience beyond what most store shelves offer.
If you know about an event — big or small — please post it here!
And if you’re planning to attend something, let us know too.
Maybe some of us will meet up along the way.
Looking forward to seeing what’s happening out there!
Luca
