Adults and curious families

Son Moragues is a historic estate of centuries-old olive trees in the municipality of Valldemossa, and its organic oil is sold under the SONMO brand. It is a way of entering a real Tramuntana olive grove, with someone explaining what everything is, instead of seeing it from the road.

What you can book

SONMO publishes several experiences, each with its own booking page:

  • A history of traditions and flavours. A visit to the estate's olive grove, an introduction to the history of the Serra de Tramuntana and a tasting of organic extra virgin oil.
  • Olive oil workshop. A tasting class in the centuries-old olive grove that reviews organic production from start to finish.
  • SONMO picnic. A walk through the olive grove and a picnic under the olive trees.
  • Tasting on a private terrace in Valldemossa. On the terrace of a house in the village with views of the Charterhouse: the history of oil in Mallorca and a tasting.

The general page gives no prices, duration or languages; they appear when you choose a date on each listing. The estate's address comes with the booking.

When and how

The brand talks of visits all year round. Book in advance, especially in spring and autumn. If a tasting does not fit, the SONMO shop in Valldemossa is open every day, Sunday too from 10:00 to 20:00, and sells the oil.

Getting there

The terrace tasting is in Valldemossa village itself, on foot from the Charterhouse. For the estate you need a car; they give you the meeting point when they confirm.

Who it is for

For anyone who wants to understand the Tramuntana landscape of terraces and olive trees from the inside. With children, the picnic is the easiest option.

Tips

  • Ask for the terrace tasting if you have no car It is in the village itself.
  • Buy at the shop on Sunday It is open until 20:00 when almost everything else is closed.
  • Ask about the language when you book The general page does not say.
