Follow our guide around the castle grounds as they show you the amazing variety of plants and flowers and what they can be used for. Come ready to taste and experiment directly from the plants.

At the end you’ll enjoy tasting our refreshing CBD beer made from the hemp we grow and the fresh olive oil we harvest ourselves. Good walking shoes, a hat and sunscreen are recommended. Bug repellent might be a good idea too. Tour the 2,000 olive trees, 15,000 industrial hemp plants, 100 beehives, a large fruit and vegetable garden and a forest full of chestnut, walnut, acorn, cherry, fig, apple, pear and plum trees - plus numerous wild berries and herbs the castle uses to flavor food and make their own gin, tea or fruity beer.
