Oio Vivo olive oil tasting tours

The best way to experience Istria is to taste it. Istrian extra virgin olive oil speaks a thousand words; recognized as an important source of food, trade, and way of life since the Roman Empire, it is now also acknowledged as a symbol of health, beauty, and well-being. Our story of olive oil began more than 15 years ago in a place once ravaged by fire, near the sea. Today, we proudly take care of over 15,000 trees, producing 4 monovarietal extra virgin olive oils and two blends. The best way to learn all about our journey as olive oil producers and everything we have learned from our land, trees, fruit, and production process is to take the time for an Oio Vivo guided olive oil tasting. The Oio Vivo guided tour includes:
  • A guided walk through the olive grove where you can learn more about the trees, varieties, and olives.
  • A guided olive oil tasting where you will learn what qualities to look for in high-quality extra virgin olive oil and how to taste it properly.
  • Snacks with olive oil.
  • The opportunity to taste all Oio Vivo extra virgin olive oils to find the one that best suits your palate.
From our estate, there is an incredible view of the Brijuni Islands, the outlines of the city of Pula, and the tallest church bell tower in the town of Vodnjan, known for its long tradition of olive oil production.
