A nostalgic journey in legendary classic cars through Istria’s olive groves.

Learn about the story of olive oil

Taste world-class olive oils and special Istrian dishes in a fun way. Your guides will be the members of the

Lisjak family, the largest producer of olive oil in Slovenia.

Enjoy olive oil and traditional Istrian dishes

As you visit the largest family oil extraction plant in Slovenia, mix your own favourite combination of olive oil and, while

tasting traditional Istrian dishes, learn about the wide range of applications of olives in cosmetics and industry.

On this tour you will recognise high-quality olive oil – and much more.

This is a story of olive oil, which you can listen to in old olive groves, in the middle of a high-tech laboratory,

and on the edge of a coastal cliff at Strunjan Nature Reserve.
