Olive Oil & Wine Tasting Evening at the Mill – A Sensory Journey Through Dalmatia Join us for an unforgettable evening at our award-winning olive mill in the heart of Dalmatia, where tradition meets taste. This exclusive tasting event is designed to immerse you in the world of high-quality extra virgin olive oil, fine Croatian wines, and delicious local food – all in a relaxed and intimate setting surrounded by the olive groves. What to Expect: 🥄 Guided Tasting of 5 Exceptional Olive Oils Explore the rich diversity of Dalmatian extra virgin olive oils. You’ll learn to taste like a professional, discovering how to identify freshness, balance, bitterness, and pungency. Each oil is tasted in special cups using international judging techniques – warming, sniffing, sipping, and analysing the flavour profile. From early-harvest, high-polyphenol oils to smooth, mature blends, each bottle tells a unique story of terroir and tradition. 🌿 Discover the Powerful Health Benefits Learn how our certified high-polyphenol olive oils support heart health, brain function, and long life. We’ll explain what polyphenols are, why they matter, and how daily use of real extra virgin olive oil can change the way you eat and feel. 🍷 Tasting of 3 Boutique Croatian Wines We pair our oils with three carefully selected wines from across Croatia – from crisp whites of Istria to bold reds from the Dalmatian hinterland. Each wine is introduced with tasting notes and pairing suggestions, showing how Croatian winemaking is quietly producing some of Europe’s most exciting bottles. 🍽️ Delicious Local Food Pairings Enjoy a selection of tasty small plates, made with seasonal and local ingredients, designed to enhance the flavours of the oils and wines. Think artisan bread, marinated vegetables, Dalmatian prosciutto, high-polyphenol chocolate, wild herb tapenades, and more. 🏛️ Behind-the-Scenes Tour of the Olive Mill Before the tasting begins, take a short guided tour of our state-of-the-art olive mill. See how olives are cold-pressed within hours of harvest, and how we preserve quality from tree to bottle. 🎁 Opportunity to Buy Award-Winning Oils & Wines Take home the tastes you love.
