During the Timeless Costa Brava tour, we’ll celebrate history and tradition at the historic Mas Oller winery where wine has been produced since 600 BC.
The farm cultivates apples from 8,000 trees to produce cider using traditional methods.
We’ll enjoy a tour and tasting and our visit supports the family not only in making an income from tourism but in protecting their farming traditions for generations to come.
Mas Oller is located in a privileged location between the sea and the mountains, influenced by the northern wind, the tramontana, and a diversity of soils including clay, sand, and slate.
Since the 1970s, the estate has been owned by the Esteva family. In the year 2000, Carlos Esteva, owner of the renowned winery Can Ráfols dels Caus, decided to rescue the family estate from oblivion. He carefully reconstructed the farmhouse and located the winery in the old cowshed. Additionally, he decided to replant the vineyards in what was once considered the finest wine estate in Pals, aiming to produce quality wines while respecting Empordà tradition but innovating in various aspects, from vine cultivation to vinification. Initially, the first wines produced by the young vines were sold locally. Over time, the vines have matured enough to produce the desired fruit concentration. Today, Mas Oller has become a benchmark winery in the Empordà Designation of Origin, with wines that reflect a philosophy seeking uniqueness and expression of the terroir where they originate.
