We’re Inviting You to Italy with Us!

For the first time, we are inviting you to the land of our olive groves, our family farm, our secret hideaway, our beloved Calabria. Part foodie and cooking tour, part beach trip and ancient ruins exploration, we’re bringing you to Calabria to allow her to breathe life into you as you experience Italy unlike any other version of it you’ve ever known.

Immerse yourself in the land of Ciccio’s Olives, where olive groves surround you, the warm sun kisses you, and the balmy breeze smells of sea salt and flowers. Connect with authentic, slow food from another place and time by experiencing the ancient trees that so gracefully give their olives year after year to be pressed into liquid gold for our nourishment, health, and enjoyment. Meet your olive oil farmers, learn their secrets and stories, and dine with them under the stars.

This Old World region of Southern Italy is known for its hot peppers, cured meats, handmade pasta, coffee, sweet red onions, tuna, and especially for its exquisite olive oil that comes from some of the world’s most ancient olive trees. Not a region to be merely known for its agricultural products, Calabria stands out as an oasis of sea, sun, sand, and dramatically exceptional beauty.

The Coast of the Gods is one of Italy’s most spectacular coastlines, bursting with culture and mythology, golden sandy beaches, and turquoise waters. It’s found along the Tyrrhenian Sea, the waters hugging the top of the most southern toe of Italy, and is largely under-discovered and one of the Mediterranean’s best kept secrets.

Slow down with slow food, disappear for a while in the olive groves, and discover your favorite version of yourself!
