A beautiful, delicious and authentic taste of the local land. Cultural immersion in native nature with deeply caring stewards!
Cannot recommend this enough, Ivica was so friendly and passionate about his craft, he was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of his family farm and also gave us some great tips about where to go in the city for great food and beaches. The end result after the tour was delightful, we got to try different snacks, homemade bread and olive oil and wine made from the fruits of the farm. Ivica was the perfect host, thank for you an unforgettable experience. If you are able to cope with a moderate hike, book this, you won’t be disappointed!

100 acre family farm 300 years of history
This is an incredible tour to learn about the local food and wine and see all of the hard work The Family has put in over hundreds of years. The property is beautiful and you can see all of the wide variety of plants and trees. Ivica has great knowledge of the area and I think the tour is a great compliment to go along with exploring the old city.
Such a peaceful and beautiful family farm! We learned so much about the Croatian culture and about hardworking farm families! Great photos and memories!
