Pack Oleotour + Patrimonio stitches together Villarejo de Salvanés’ compact historic core with a working 18th‑century oil mill: a guided hour among the Torre del Homenaje and Casa de la Tercia, followed by an hour inside the old almazara that concludes with a tasting of monovarietal and seasoned extra‑virgin oils and a small wine aperitif.

THE HISTORY

Torre del Homenaje and Casa de la Tercia

The tour’s first hour is a guided visit through Villarejo’s principal heritage sites, led through the Torre del Homenaje and the Casa de la Tercia to unpack the town’s layered past.

THE PROCESS

An 18th‑century almazara: from fruit to bottle

Enter the century‑old mill to see the explained sequence—reception of the fruit, weighing, molturación (milling) and envasado (bottling)—a compact, technical primer on traditional olive‑oil production.

THE TASTING

A tasting with a small aperitif

The experience closes with a guided tasting of the cooperative’s oils—extra‑virgin monovarietals and seasoned varieties—paired with a small aperitif and wine to compare flavors side by side.
