Olive Festival
23rd to 27th of October 2024. This year, we are once again hoping for a bountiful harvest and are looking forward to many events centered around the olive and its home Brač.
We warmly invite our guests to harvest olives in the grove and then press their own olive oil. Bring home a very special souvenir and taste the passion of Croatia.
