I was expecting a bit of a standard olive oil tour with some tastings, but this was a really in depth conversation at Andrea's home.

we met his family and learnt an incredible amount about olive oil and it's production. it's fulfilling being able to connect with small producers to learn their story and hear the passion behind their craft.

you can tailor the conversation with Andrea however you'd like and the oil he produces is of a fantastic quality for an incredibly reasonable price if you want to buy it at the end.

this was one of the best things we did in Istria.

Andrea war sehr sympathisch und hatte extrem viel Wissen rund um die Olive. Wir waren zu zweit bei ihm und haben sehr viel gelernt und auch sein eigenes Olivenöl probiert. Andrea hat uns Getränke angeboten und uns herzlich empfangen. Ausserdem hat er uns angeboten,ihn bei weiteren Fragen zu Tipps für Istrien zu kontaktieren. Insgesamt also eine sehr tolle Erfahrung, die auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen ist.

My partner and I had a wonderful experience learning about olive oil and sampling some of the best! Andrea was super knowledgeable and presented the material as a conversation - it was a really low-key and welcoming way to learn about olive oil and the local region.

Andrea was a very knowledgeable person and tailored his tour to our level of knowledge about olive oil (which was almost zero 😊). He also explained everything in a way that we could follow and gave us a lot of good tips how to distinguish good oils from bad ones when buying. We left his garden with a bag of his oil, which we tried during the tour, and a lot more awareness of olive oil and its production 🫒.
I can highly recommend this tour!
