The 27th edition of 'Frantoi Aperti in Umbria' will be held from 19 October to 17 November 2024.
The event, the prince of Italian oil tourism, celebrates the arrival of the new extra virgin olive oil in the period of the olive pressing, proposing initiatives at the oil mill, linked to the world of quality oil.
Also in this edition, in numerous Umbrian villages, visitors will be given the opportunity to experience the mill in operation, witnessing the production of the new oil and immersing themselves in places that have now become multifunctional and that, while maintaining a spirit faithful to tradition, show increasing attention to design innovations and an increasingly marked propensity for hospitality, which precisely during Frantoi Aperti finds the ideal moment to express itself at its best.

The opening event will be held on 19 October, and will be the 2nd edition of ‘La Grande Pedalata’ along the Assisi - Spoleto olive grove and in the places of the UNESCO serial site ‘The Lombards in Italy’.
It is a ring-route of about 40 km by bike and e-bike, organised by the Strada dell'Olio e.v.o. DOP Umbria with the technical partner You Mobility - Il Portale della Mobilità and in collaboration with FIAB Umbria, FIAB Foligno and Ciclostorica La Francescana.
The bicycle ride will start from the Cathedral of Spoleto and then continue along a permanent route that will take you to visit the cultural emergencies of Spoleto and Campello sul Clitunno, including the Umbrian sites of the UNESCO serial site ‘The Lombards in Italy: places of power’ (568-774 AD).
It will be an experience combining nature, cycling tourism, food and wine, appreciation of the artistic heritage and promotion of the places where e.v.o. oil is produced, which are now multifunctional, welcoming places that host events, tastings and offer oil-tourism experiences on the farm.
The minimum age for participation is 16 and over, and minors must be accompanied by an adult.
