The tour gives you an insight how we tend to the olive/almond trees and the vineyards throughout the year from early spring to late fall.

In the wine cellar, you will have the opportunity to taste from a choice of home made schnapps and liquors as I will explain how the wine making process works and how schnapps is distilled.

Enjoy beautiful views from Kastela Bay and Split in a serene setting between olive and almond trees. Then we will enjoy local Dalmatian delicacies seated outside under the beautiful pergola next to the olive and almond orchards, immersed in tranquil and beautiful nature. We will have 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 and sing traditional Dalmatian songs on my accordion dressed in the traditional Dalmatian folklore dress.
