This experience was FABULOUS. Marin was friendly, funny and extremely knowledgeable. He shared the history of his farm with us and how he makes everything “RIGHT HERE” on his farm. Our first taste was a welcome drink of amaretto he made from the almonds he grew. It was unbelievably delicious.
He makes wine and olive oil from the fruit and olives he harvests from his trees. He served us almonds, figs, raisins and candied apricots along with some white wine.
We sat in his smoke house (aka his kitchen, complete with a pizza oven) as he explained how he prepares and smokes everything in that stone house. And he shared how he made the wine right there too! He later served us red wine, the BEST goat cheese in the world (and I don’t even like goat cheese), wild boar sausage that he made, pancetta, prosciutto, a red pepper spread and bread from his mom’s village. Everything was delicious.
The farm affords beautiful views of Split and the nearby fortress. We had the best time!!
