BRIST OLIVE GROVE TOURS

One of the things that Istria is known for internationally is olive oil. The inhabitants of Istria have been engaged in olive growing and olive oil production for many years, and many families have decided to continue nurturing this tradition even now.

One of these families is the owner of the Brist Olive grove tours. This small family is engaged in olive growing and olive oil production, and in addition, they give tours of olive groves and educate people who want to know more.

Brist Olive is located in Vodnjan on the slopes where ancient Romans built their villas in the past. They chose those places because of the better air quality at a higher altitude, excellent conditions for growing olives, and of course the beautiful view of Brijuni. But, apart from the olden times, even today numerous holiday villas with private pools for rent on the slopes will certainly leave you breathless.

Due to the numerous benefits of these hills in terms of olive growing, Brist Olive decided to settle in this area.
