The visit-tasting (about 45 minutes) will introduce you to the orchard of 2,500 walnut trees, the production and harvesting of organic walnuts, and our processing workshop into kernels and virgin walnut oils. The visit ends with the tasting of our virgin walnut oils and other walnut specialties.
Then we install you in a quiet and shady place under the walnut trees where you can taste the "homemade" picnic, based on local and seasonal products!
