At the end you will have an oil tasting so that you will be able to distinguish the different qualities of oil. Here you can buy and order your favorite Italian olive oil.

We will go to visit an important winery located on Monte Fasolo, a mountain that also gives the name to the local winery that hosts three different wine producers. This wine farm is superb and you will see the underground wine cellars that are comparable to atomic bunkers due to their depth and architecture. You will walk along an underground labyrinth full of bottles and barrels of wine right under the mountain. The wine tasting area will leave you speechless, as it’s extremely professional and stylish. A wine professional will explain you all the wines along the tasting and local food will be offered. Once the wine tasting is finished you are free to walk around the farm, visit the close-by old Oratory of San Gaetano, trek around the hill and take a nap under the vineyards.

In Galzignano Terme we will chill out at the Euganean thermal baths where you can relax in the hot waters coming out from 3000-meters deep springs. You can choose to soak up in the therapeutic waters of the pools, steam up in the sauna or simply rest on sunbeds, surrounded by a green golf court, sipping a drink while admiring the hills. Finally after this resting stopover we will head back to Padova where our tour finishes.
