Another off-the-scale fantastic White Houses Tour I believe this was our 4th tour with White Houses Tours. When visiting the Costa del Sol and Andalucia we absolutely love to do a wine / gastronomic tour with White Houses. This was our first olive oil experience. Rodrigo is wonderful and has a genuinely friendly nature. His knowledge of wine, agriculture, history and culture is impressive. His animated passion for product and place sparkles through. His English is impeccable. Lauren is also delightful, knowledgeable and friendly. We didn't just go on a tour we made a lasting memory. The sights, aromas and tastes still linger with us. The olive oil tasting was splendid. We learned how to tell if olive oil is really extra virgin. We also saw the marked difference between organic and non organic. We got to meet Paco, a Spanish organic trailblazer. The food and wine were plentiful. These tours are truly unique and we loved the one to one attention. We can't wait for our next tour. We've taken many tours, but White Houses Tours offers something different, something unique and has given us lasting memories.

Best wine tour ever - amazing I always enjoy wine tours and have done several in Australia, New Zealand , canada and usa. However this wine tour was exceptional and the best yet, the tour was amazing from start to finish.
Why?
Small group - personalised attention, Bea was excellent guide - very informative, friendly and helpful, the winery business model is eco friendly and I really enjoyed hearing about how the business conforms to eco philosophy, wine samples were plentiful ( I think 6 bottles between 5 on the tour) , tapas was not just a small taste but a relative buffet. Minibus was new and comfortable and , Bea was very informative and entertaining while we drove to and from the vineyard.
Such excellent value for money and a fantastic tour - I return to Malaga next September with my husband and have already booked the wine and olive tour to share with him.
Added bonus this is a small localised company and by booking you will be supporting the local community.
Don’t hesitate - book

We had such a great day with Laura! The experience was so unique. An organic farm producing grapes, olives and almonds and then on to a Co-op producing amazing wines and olive oils. I really recommend this great tour! Thank you!!

This was a highlight for us. After touring cities for almost a week we were looking for something else. We are not big drinkers so didn’t want a basic wine tasting tour. This Olive Oil and wine tour was outstanding. Laura was so knowledgeable and pleasant. We learned so much about the history of wine and grapes, How olive oil is made and how olives are cured. Laura took us to a beautiful organic grape, olive and almond farm. We had an opportunity to see a small farm and how their crops are brought to a coop for processing- the wine, the olive oil and the olives. This was such a personalized tour- not a big commercial one. One of the workers even let us taste the olives right out of the curing vats. We ended with a wine and olive oil tasting and lots of delicious tapas. Laura went out of her way to help me find a way to ship some olive oil home. There are many tours out there- but this was by far the best. Thank you Laura for a wonderful day.

Great experience visiting organic farm and co-op. Great experience with Pablo as our tour guide and overall a real highlight of our trip. We brought our infant along with us, and they were very accommodating, installing an infant seat in the van and making sure we had time and space to care for our baby. We were the only people signed up for that particular time, so we got a personalized tour; this was notable since a lot of tours will cancel if they don't have enough people. It speaks to the passion of the company and guides for teaching us about the organic processes of the farm and the co-op.

We met Pablo in the morning at 9 am near the Tourist office near the Malaga harbor and drove about 45 min to the farm. We then walked for about 45 min around the farm, seeing the old vines, olive trees, and almond trees. Across the road is another similar farm that uses non-organic methods in their farming, and the contrast is quite dramatic. The farm was very beautiful, and the walk itself was very peaceful after the bustle of the city.

We then drove about 5 min to a nearby town where we got an extensive tour of a co-op's grape and olive processing facilities. We spent about 45 min each learning about wine and olive oil processing. This was very in-depth and both Pablo and the co-op technician guiding us were very knowledgable about each step of the process. They also pulled some "snack" olives from one of the storage containers and let us try them, which was really cool.

Finally, there was a nice tasting lunch in which we tried 3 olive oils made on-site and 5 wines, with generous pours. It was amazing tasting the spice and depth of a really high quality olive oil. This was accompanied by a generous portion of tapas (meats, bread, cheese, chips) that we couldn't even finish it was so much. They even let us take the leftovers! The co-op also had a "gift shop" that was really a small grocery store, where we bought locally made products at very good prices. We then drove back to Malaga and were back by around 3 pm.

When we realized we had left our phone in the van, we reached out to Rodrigo, who immediately replied and contacted Pablo, who drove back to bring us the phone. Can't speak highly enough about how responsive and helpful they were!

Laura and Pablo are fantastic!! Amazing tour!! We couldn't have asked for a more amazing experience on this wine and olive oil tour!

Laura and Pablo were such fantastic hosts and guides, educating us on so many things... from the vineyard, wine grape varietals, ecology, and production of olive oil. We had an amazing time! They are the best and so wonderful!

The winery and olive oil factory was spectacular. One of the absolute best in the region. We may be spoiled now by the Trasañejo that we sampled!! If we could have drank the whole barrel, we certainly would have tried!!

This is a must-do tour if you want something special to experience while in Málaga.

Memorable and Special - Access to authentic, non-touristic farm and mill We were so thrilled with the Olive Oil and Wine Tasting tour last year from White Houses Tours, we booked again to share it with friends visiting this year. Definitely the right decision. Our wonderful and light-hearted guide Laura, a multi-generation Malaga native, shared her love of the land and area with us. We definitely expanded our knowledge about the olive and grape/wine industries. The fully organic vineyard and olive grove had grape vines over a 100 years old and olive trees even older, plus newer varieties of both. Next stop was a cooperative mill generally not open to tourists, but White House Tours developed a special relationship with them, allowing us to view elements of wine, olive oil and snack olive production. Of course we finished the tour with an olive oil and wine tasting, plus generous tapas. We learned a lot, laughed a lot, and ate a lot!

We enjoyed our olive and wine tour very much much. Laura was an excellent hostess and tour guide. On our way to Paco’s vineyard we learned all about the history of Malaga and olive & wine making. Walking Paco’s vineyard and the Olive & Wine Cooperative tour were really very interesting. Finished the tour with excellent tapas and olive oil and wine tasting. Thanks Laura for a great day!

Fantastic tour organised by Rodrigo. in just four hours we learned about the history of wine production here in Malaga, how wine is grown today and what are regional wine differences in Spain. And in the end, we got to taste a selection of amazing local wines, from a small winery. I highly recommend tours with Rodrigo who is a passionate professional and wine lover as a great activity in Malaga. coming back to his olive oil tour for sure.
