The experience
The experience starts in the olive groves themselves. You'll walk through the trees with Sašo, the owner and olive grower, who explains the care needed to grow premium fruit using modern technology alongside generations of knowledge. Depending on the season, you harvest, pick or eat olives directly from the tree: what you do changes with the time of year. He covers the different olive varieties, their life cycles, when they're harvested, and how table olives are prepared.
The tasting happens after the grove walk. Sašo guides you through three varieties of extra virgin olive oil, each one tasted with homemade bread, local cheese and seasonal vegetables drizzled in the oils. Homemade organic juices and tap water are available throughout. The farm also makes olive spreads, house wines and liqueurs, which you'll encounter during the tasting.
The farm is called RED FAIRYTALE and sits in Marezige, a village in Slovenian Istria. It's a 15-minute drive from Koper, so you leave the city and enter countryside and Istrian scenery. The whole experience runs about 75 minutes.
Is this one for you?Book this if you want hands-on time in the groves and direct instruction from the grower himself. The tasting is built around what Sašo grows and makes, not a standard flight of oils.
