Fiesta del Olio Nuovo

Celebrate the most exciting moment of the olive-growing year at Finca Luna Serena—pressing season.

September brings the first oils of the new harvest, bright green, intensely aromatic and full of the fresh, peppery character that makes olio nuovo so special. For this seasonal celebration, we have created a prix-fixe dinner inspired by the harvest and designed around our early-varietal, freshly pressed extra virgin olive oil.

From the first taste of the new oil through dessert, each course explores a different way to enjoy its freshness, fragrance and distinctive flavor.

A celebration of the harvest, the press, and olive oil at its freshest.
