We were a group of six friends picked up from the Monevasia port in a luxury van. The scenic drive to Liotrivi took about 20-30 min. First, we were seated in a lovely outdoor setting and learned about olive trees and their cultivation from the owner and Nikki (who works there). Then we moved into the olive oil "factory". We tasted the extra virgin olive oil, with breads, cheese, tomatoes, and more. Also had an amazing personalized wine tasting experience in the old barrel cellar. Everyone from our group loved this experience.
