Sip of Olive Oil — Olive Oil Masterclass & Rhodes Wine Finale

Set in a working biodynamic olive grove on the western coast of Rhodes, near the village of Soroni, this is a three-hour study of olive oil that closes with the wines of the island. From the moment you arrive among the trees, your host - an award-winning olive oil producer and certified sommelier - guides you from the roots of production to the glass. You will walk the grove, learn how the trees shape the oil, then move from theory into a hands-on sensory tasting, learning to read, smell, and taste extra virgin olive oil with real confidence. It is a slow, practical study in the place where the oil is actually born.

Upon an introduction to the place, the session opens with a welcome sample and continues with a guided flight of distinct Greek olive oils, exploring the difference between the profiles and how each pairs with food. Local snacks accompany you throughout - fresh bread and pastries from the village bakery or grocery store - there to keep you relaxed and the imagination open, the way a true study should feel. For this special Winedering edition, the experience closes with a curated selection of the year's most interesting Rhodes wines from the island's own vineyards, carefully chosen by your host to complement the flavors and spirit of the island.

What sets this apart is the setting and the depth. You are surrounded by the grove itself, with open views along the Aegean horizon. Only a small number of guests join at a time, so the afternoon stays unhurried, personal, and full of engaging conversations. Hosted by Sip of Olive Oil at Monseta Estate – a quiet, distinctive way to anchor Rhodian and Greek flavours into your olfactory memory.
