Description
Discover the authentic charm of Istria with our Olivo Istriano experience, blending history, tradition, and delicious flavors in a truly immersive journey. Your adventure begins at the majestic Palazzina Montebello, a splendid example of Veneto-Austro-Hungarian architecture built in 1899, nestled on the lush Montecucco hill—recorded in history since 1102.
Stroll through our flourishing orchard, where the Mediterranean climate has blessed us with 31 varieties of fresh, estate-grown fruits—an orchard alive with color and scent. Next, wander through our olive groves and vineyards, marveling at the stunning panoramic views of hilltop towns, terraced fields, and the quintessential Istrian landscape. Here, we share our sustainable and ethical cultivation practices that produce world-class olive oil.
Our journey continues in the cellar, where you'll learn about the ancient and modern techniques behind harvesting and producing premium extra virgin olive oil—from Roman times to today’s innovative methods. Enhance your senses with a professional tasting led by a certified olive oil sommelier, mastering the skills to identify the subtle characteristics of this liquid gold.
Indulge in a delicious food and wine pairing outside the Palazzina, beneath the shade of a giant tree. Savor a typical Istrian charcuterie board featuring locally sourced products—Prosciutto, salamino, baccala in bianco (codfish), marinated anchoves, cheese, fresh ricotta, olives, seasonal fruits from our garden, homemade bread, and more—perfectly complemented by two wines, homemade juice, and refreshing water. To crown this extraordinary day, enjoy a surprise artisan dessert, rounding off your farm-to-table experience with a sweet touch.
