On the occasion of European Heritage Days, the Moulin Bastide du Laval is offering a guided tour of its estate to discover the olive heritage.
From the olive grove to the mill, the route allows you to understand the different stages of olive oil production, between traditions, innovations and transmission.
The visit ends with a guided tasting of the estate's olive oils, to learn to recognize their characteristics and aromas.
For several generations, the Moulin Bastide du Laval has maintained a heritage that is not preserved behind a window, but that is transmitted every day in the heart of the estate.
Olive growing is now facing numerous challenges: climate change, droughts, diseases, international competition and the decline in family farms.
While remaining faithful to its know-how, the field is evolving its practices thanks to current innovations and technologies.
The guided tour starts in the olive grove, with a view of the Luberon mountains, to discuss olive cultivation methods.
The guide presents the varieties, the specificities of olive production and the actions that contribute to the quality of the final product.
The discovery continues at the mill, with the presentation of the machines, their operation and the journey of the olive, from harvesting to the extraction of its oil.
The visit ends with a commented tasting of sixteen olive oils, to better understand their characteristics, their aromatic specificities and the secrets of their production.
Throughout the day, free and marked walks of the olive grove and the mill are also offered using educational materials and an audio guide.
Visitors can also enjoy free tastings of the estate's olive oils, in a spirit of sharing and transmission.
