Olive Tree Grove Tours from Athens

Anyone aware of tours to an Olive Tree grove from Athens? Maybe something that provides Olive oil tasting. Much like a wine tour or brewery tour.

Having never done any kind of tour, I still did a quick search and found this:

It's near Corinth, 1.5 hours from Athens. See how you can get there.

There are olive groves in every town in Greece. If you are only interested in seeing the trees, they are all over Athens itself. If you want to learn about olives and olive oil, I recommend the Ben Olive Mill (https://www.benolivemill.com/) just north of Kalamata. It is quite a distance from Athens. Your post did not indicate if you will be traveling outside of Athens, but I wanted to offer it as an option. When I was researching other olive tours, nothing else seemed as comprehensive.
My wife and I visited there last October and it was a highlight of our trip. It is a fifth generation olive "forest" and mill and the current generation provide the tours. The tour includes a walk through the grove followed by olive oil tasting and a selection of local foods that use the local oil. It is fun and informative for olive lovers.

Thank you.

Ben Olive Mill certainly fits the bill, but a bit far from Athens without a car.
