When you arrive on Šolta you will be personally guided to the ancient groves of Olynthia Natura. Ride through the island’s untouched nature, enjoy the fresh smells of grass and different herbs.
In the groves you will meet one of the olive masters who will talk about the oldest cultivated tree in the world. And you will see, touch and feel the leaves and bark of a tree that is more than 1000 years old as you learn all about farming indigenous Dalmatian varieties of olives. The Olive Tour will make you feel the life of an islander. Take a relaxing walk through one of the island’s most beautiful villages with winding narrow streets and ancient stone houses. Life here has remained the same in many ways for countless generations.
Next up is the mill where you will enjoy a full “taste like a pro” programme which will make you understand how to produce the highest quality oil using a blend of tradition and the latest techniques. The “olive oil tasting” programme will teach you how to taste olive oil the same way professionals do. It’s an unforgettable experience which you can later share with your family and friends.
Not only will you learn how to taste oil like a pro, but there are special programmes where you can learn all about the history of olive oil; discover the importance of the relationship between olive trees and man in this area of the Mediterranean; see how olives are processed into oil and learn all about the quality of olive oil and how it affects your health.
At lunch you will learn how to pair different oils with different dishes and enjoy fine local wine. Browse in the Olynthia olive oil store for one of the best Croatian extra virgin olive oils. This is an ideal place to buy gifts for your dear ones. All credit cards are accepted and we ship to anywhere in the world.
After lunch go for a relaxing walk or swim, and explore the island. You will be driven to the ferry port at the end of the tour where you can take the ferry back to Split.
