We will start with an agricultural tour of our 100% organic family farm including a short introduction of the historic area of Bijaći, the cradle of Croatian history dating to the 7th century. We will walk through the olive and almond orchard, being able to see the olive and almond trees blooming or the fruits ripening, the scent of wild herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, oregano, dill, bay leaves, St. John's Wort, wild asparagus and many wild flowers depending on the season. The tour gives you an insight into vineyard work, production practices and cellar techniques, wine and olive oil production from blooming to the final product. In the wine cellar, you will have the opportunity to taste some of our home made schnapps and each group will fill, cork and label a bottle of wine directly from the fermentation tanks. Enjoy beautiful views from Kastela Bay and Split in a serene setting between olive and almond trees.
Seated outside under the beautiful pergola next to the olive and almond orchard you will enjoy local Dalmatian delicacies: dried prosciutto, aged cheese from the island of Pag, peka bread baked on a wood fire, locally sea-salted fish fillets, our own black olives prepared the traditional way, cheese-filled small bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, tasting of our extra virgin and wild herb infused olive oil, our organic hand-picked dried figs and our hand-picked, dried and sugar-coated almonds paired with our award-winning white and red wine, while I will play traditional Dalmatian songs on my accordion dressed in the traditional Dalmatian folklore dress.
