The Consorzio di Tutela Vini Elba DOC unites 16 active wineries on the island. They produce Elba DOC (whites, reds, rosés) and Aleatico Passito DOCG, the most distinctive sweet wine of the Tuscan Archipelago. All of them offer tastings by appointment and direct sales. Below three representative examples.
Historic Elban winery founded in the 18th century as a farm between Portoferraio and Porto Azzurro. Named after a freshwater spring on the estate. Guided tours with three-wine tasting start at 25 euro per person.

Estate in Localita Magazzini in Portoferraio. Production and direct sales of Elba's traditional wines (red, white, rosé and Aleatico) and cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil. Farm-stay accommodation available.
Olive groves and
oil producers
Elba Island extra virgin olive oil falls under the Tuscan Extra Virgin Olive Oil IGP designation (Protected Geographical Indication). The main cultivars grown on the island are Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo and Pendolino, with often centuries-old olive trees planted on dry-stone terraces facing the sea.
The main production areas are the Marina di Campo plain, the Lacona area, Portoferraio (Schiopparello) and Bagnaia. Two private mills work Elba olives on the island: Podere Arduini in Mola (Capoliveri) and Costagli / Hotel La Feluca in Bagnaia (Rio).
Farm and agritourism of Fabrizio Galletti in Localita Schiopparello, 7 km from Portoferraio. The only Elba Island extra virgin olive oil certified IGP Toscano by the Consortium. Olives grown, harvested, milled and bottled on the island.
Apiaries and
honey producers
Elba Island honey is recognised as a Traditional Agricultural Food Product (PAT) and is part of the gastronomic identity of the Tuscan Archipelago. The five most distinctive types are rosemary, thistle, heather, chestnut and strawberry tree (corbezzolo) — the last one bitter, rare, produced only in autumn.
Tuscan Archipelago National Park brand: on Elba three estates are awarded the Park brand for honey production, a guarantee that processing takes place within the protected areas of the Tuscan Archipelago. Among them, the Apicoltura Ballini mentioned above.
Organic estates
and agritourisms
On Elba certified organic production is growing: organic EVO oil, agritourisms working the land with organic methods, rural hospitality in olive groves and estates. Below the estates that combine organic production + hospitality, verified from public sources.
Organic farm in Localita Buraccio, not far from Portoferraio. Goat farming and production of fresh cheeses and natural ice cream. Part of the Elba Taste Consortium, a network of producers valuing the authentic identity of the Elba territory.
