This tour is set on our farm. However we also recommendation you visit our shop for a full tasting of our oils afterwards with no extra charge.
We start early, before the heat of the day, and discover the story behind our oils. The tour is dynamic, and covers not only the work of an olive farm, but looks at the amazing ecology, history and archaeology of the area. You will learn why these gentle hills around Vodnjan, with a view of the sea, have been considered the perfect place to grow olives for over 2000 years.
There is so much to share, and nature has such beautiful colour in the morning. The tour is great for young families, and those who want a lively start to the day.

More details
This tour is set on our farm only. The shop can be visited separately, during our shop working hours, for a free full tasting.
We start in the evening after the heat of the day, and discover the story behind our oils. The tour is relaxed, and covers not only the work of an olive farm, but looks at the amazing ecology, history and archaeology of the area. You will learn why these gentle hills around Vodnjan, with a view of the sea, have been considered the perfect place to grow olives for over 2000 years.
