World’s Oldest Olive Tree
The oldest olive tree in the world is the Olive Tree of Vouves, located in Ano Vouves, Crete, Greece. While its exact age is debated and cannot be precisely determined because it lacks heartwood, it is estimated to be between 3,000 and 5,000 years old. Tree ring analysis confirms it is at least 2,000 years old

BEER TASTING
We will guide you through the brewing process and show you our state-of-the-art green brewery, in a specially created place where you can gain an insight into the production process. On brewing days, a hoppy fragrance fills the rooms – and you are right in the midst of the process of hand-crafted beer production. After the tour, enjoy a beer tasting of 4 samples in our open-space terrace with a view over olive groves and orange trees, accompanied by traditional breadsticks. Instead of beer, teens and children are being offered a refreshment. All our beers are fresh, pure and natural without thermal or chemical processing
