The event “Illasi Terra d’Olivi” was born from the desire to promote one of the typical products of our territory, oil, and for this purpose it was conceived for the entire duration of the month of November, the characteristic month of the harvest and milling of olives. The event involves various realities: production, commercial, tourist-receptive and cultural in order to focus the interest on extra virgin olive oil and its production process from the harvesting of the raw material to bottling in order to enhance it in a complete way and make it known to all age groups.
The event begins on Sunday 27 October, the national day of the “Walk among the Olives”, established by the Association “Città dell’Olio”, to which the Municipality of Illasi adheres and which for the eighth year proposes an organized walk among the centuries-old olive trees. At the end of the walk, risotto and tastings of extra virgin olive oil.
Throughout the month of November, at the restaurants of Illasi and Cellore it will be possible to taste the extra virgin olive oils of the Illasian mills presented with the “Carta degli Oli”, a menu of oils prepared for the occasion in which they are proposed with their characteristics: all customers will be able to choose and taste the oil as an entrée on bruschetta. For the entire duration of the month of November, the mills will also welcome groups of school children for visits to the mill and the Library will have a corner dedicated to oil, to suggest dedicated readings.
Friday 8 November at 8:30 pm at the Musical Garden in Illasi there will be: an evening and tasting seminar of the extra virgin olive oil of Illasi by Francesco Amato sommelier of the Oil "AWAKENING THE SENSES: SIGHT-TASTE-SMELL FOR A QUALITY TASTING".

Friday 15th November at 7:30 pm at the "VILLA ARAZZI" Restaurant in Cellore there will be: "LET'S MEET THE OIL AT DINNER" aperitif with the producers of extra virgin olive oil of Illasi followed by dinner with a fixed menu.
On Saturday, November 16th at 8:00 pm at the Illasi marquee, the PRO LOCO of Illasi will propose a special edition of the traditional evening "Lesso e Pearà", which this year includes a menu enriched by the presence of the new oil.
On the same weekend, November 16th and 17th, Illasi will host: "Olio in Camper" is a weekend organized in collaboration with Valdillasi Camper Club and Pro Loco of Illasi for the discovery of Illasi oil aimed at campers.
On Sunday, November 17th there will be a market of typical products and a tourist train to visit the historic center of Illasi.
On Friday, November 22nd at 8:30 pm at the Musical Garden in Illasi there will be: a conference "OLIO ELISI DI BUONA VITA" with the participation of Prof. Marco Trabucchi and Prof. Roberto Vettor moderated by the journalist Laura Peloso. With the Illasi Terra d’Olivi event, a circular pedestrian path of about 6 km is born to be walked among the olive trees of Illasi, called “Sentiero degli Olivi”, which will be named, stretch by stretch, year after year, after a famous guest who will visit Illasi on the occasion of the event and who will bring his experiences related to extra virgin olive oil. On Sunday 24 November in the territory of the municipality of Cazzano di Tramigna there will be: "GUIDED TREKKING WITH TASTING AT THE OIL MILLS" organized by the Consorzio Olio EVO Veneto Valpolicella DOP.
To conclude the series of events, on Sunday 24 November the traditional “Thanksgiving Festival” will be held, a festival that has its origins in the agricultural world, and which on the last Sunday of November comes together in a thanksgiving to God for the fertility of the land and for the harvest of the year. Over time, alongside the agricultural world, other professions and the world of associations have also joined the event: for the occasion, the products of the land will be presented, a parade of vintage agricultural engines will be organized and a community lunch will be shared. During the community lunch, a group of volunteers will deliver the “Mayor’s Oil” to the municipal administration, the oil produced with olives from municipal trees.
The entire November event “Illasi Terra d’Olivi” is therefore aimed at expressing and confirming the sense of Illasian community linked to the agricultural territory, in particular to extra virgin olive oil, which today also with this event we intend to preserve, enhance and promote to make it known and savored.
