A stroll through the olive groves of Arco to Calaverna, the location of the permanent beehive;
Visiting the beehive in full beekeeping gear (provided by the beekeeper: protective suit, face shield, and smoker). You'll have the chance to search for the queen in a specially opened beehive and taste honey straight from the comb;
Getting an insight into the honey extraction workshop and learning how honey vinegar is made;
Tasting 4 different types of honey from Trentino, Trentino honey vinegar, and a glass of mead, served with bread, a selection of cheeses, and water.
