Camminata tra gli Olivi

A day dedicated to Marostica's oil

The Camminata tra gli Olivi is the initiative that in Marostica, in the province of Vicenza, celebrates the culture of the olive tree and oil. It is part of a national event promoted by the National Association of Oil Cities, of which Marostica is a member, and offers a themed day to discover local olive cultivation and the area's oil specialties.

Among olive groves, oil mills, and tastings

The heart of the event is the itinerary through the olive groves of the Marostica hills, marked by dry-stone walls and panoramic views. Along the route, farms and oil mills open their doors to the public, with direct sales, explanations on oil harvesting and production, tastings of oil, bread, and typical products, and food and wine menus based on Marostica oil.

Walks, workshops, and donkeys

The program includes walks through the olive groves with tastings and experiential workshops, as well as donkey rides accompanied by lunches or tastings. An experience suitable for families and the curious, allowing visitors to experience the Marostica agricultural landscape during a particularly evocative period – the autumn harvest.

Coinciding with the Fiera di San Simeone

The Camminata tra gli Olivi takes place on the last Sunday of October, coinciding with the Antica Fiera di San Simeone, the patron saint's festival of Marostica. A weekend that combines peasant tradition, oil culture, and popular celebration in the heart of the city of chess.
