Exclusive Olive Oil & Wine Tasting Experience at Our Family Olive Grove in Lepuri, Near Benkovac

Summer just got better with this exclusive sensory holiday experience at our family olive grove in Lepuri. Join olive oil grower and producer Branemir Lepur as he personally guides you through an unforgettable Croatian tasting journey.

Enjoy our award-winning Dalmatian olive oils, including our gold medal-winning 2024 early harvest oil, which boasts an impressive 1200mg/kg of polyphenols. Accompanying this are superb wines from Croatia’s finest native varieties, paired with delicious local food bites, all drizzled in our exquisite olive oil.

This unique experience is designed to celebrate healthy eating and drinking, offering a delightful and educational way to start your holiday festivities. Seats are extremely limited, so make sure to reserve your spot before it’s too late!

The tour includes:

Guided Olive Grove and Mill Tour: Explore the olive grove and mill, learning about the craft behind producing the finest extra virgin olive oil, from tree to bottle.

Olive Oil Tasting: Discover the sensory and health qualities of high polyphenol olive oils. You’ll learn to gently warm the oil in tasting cups, releasing its aromas and assessing qualities like fruitiness, bitterness, and pungency.

Award-Winning Wines: Enjoy a selection of premium native-grape wines from Croatia’s four main wine regions, expertly paired with your olive oil tasting. Learn the five essential steps to wine appreciation: sight, smell, swirl, sip, and savor.

Local Food Bites: Taste locally baked sourdough bread and other tasty bites, all generously drizzled in our gold-award winning olive oil.
