Vintage Van Tastes: Truffles & Olives

Ride in a restored vintage van to a family-owned olive farm for a delightful tour, lunch and truffle-hunting demonstration. Traveling in a retro vehicle will add a nostalgic flair to this experience, a feeling that will continue at the Lisjak Olive Farm, where heritage is of the utmost importance. On the way there, you will stop for photos and a glass of sparkling wine at an olive grove, which will set the stage for a deeper immersion into the world of olives. As you walk through the farm’s groves, you will learn about their cultivation, enjoy a tasting of freshly pressed extra virgin olive oil and gain an understanding of the many products made from olives. If the conditions permit, you will join an expert truffle forager and truffle dog to discover how these coveted fungi are located underground. An extraordinary farm-to-table lunch prepared with locally sourced ingredients will follow.
