Olive picking, Istria, Croatia
Croatia’s northernmost region is famous for its olives, and the Meneghetti hotel and winery produces four different varieties of oil from the 750 trees dotted across the estate. From early October to mid-November, guests can join the olive harvest and oil-making process, as well as oyster-shucking on the nearby fjords and truffle hunting (until the end of October). The hotel also offers wine tastings and tours, while the restaurant produces dishes created from the 1.5 hectare kitchen garden, with more than 44 species of fruits, vegetables and herbs.
