7 Day Olive Harvest & Yoga Immersion: Tuscan Olive Farm in Italy

Nestled in the olive-covered hills of Fiesole just above Florence, this seven-day yoga and olive harvest retreat at YOGASOLE is made for travelers who want their wellness experience rooted in something real — the rhythms of a working Italian farm, the traditions of a family who has tended these groves for generations, and the quiet beauty of the Tuscan countryside. Each morning opens with yoga and breathwork as light filters through ancient olive trees, and the pace from there is yours to shape. The retreat is run in partnership with the Mancini family estate, and guests are invited into the full arc of the olive harvest — from picking fruit in the groves to watching it pressed into the season's first extra-virgin oil, then tasting that bright, grassy olio nuovo at the dinner table the same day. It is a rare and genuinely immersive look at where one of Italy's great culinary traditions actually comes from. Accommodation is in a cozy farmhouse surrounded by the trees themselves, and meals are homemade, organic, and built entirely from what the land and season provide. Evenings take a slower turn — live music, open air, and the kind of unhurried conversation that seems to come naturally when a place is this beautiful and this quiet. The retreat is deliberately small in scale, which means there is also generous room to follow your own instincts. Guests can take long walks through the olive groves or the historic streets of Fiesole, head down into Florence to spend a few hours among world-class art and architecture, or book an in-house massage when the body calls for something restorative. Nothing is forced; the structure supports rather than directs. For anyone searching for a yoga retreat in Tuscany that goes beyond the mat — one that connects the practice of wellness to a specific place, a specific harvest, and a specific family — this week in the hills above Florence offers something genuinely hard to replicate.
