Olive Festival

Your Lemongarden experience begins the moment you arrive. Join us for a refreshing welcome drink —sparkling wine or a Lemongarden Spritz — and take a moment to settle into the relaxed rhythm of island life. Take your time to check in, unwind and enjoy your first afternoon surrounded by the beauty and tranquillity of Lemongarden. We invite you to discover the authentic flavours of Dalmatia through a relaxed afternoon tasting experience.

Let us take you on a culinary journey through the island, with a selection of local specialties including extra virgin olive oil and freshly baked bread, renowned Brač cheese, traditional Dalmatian prosciutto, hand-picked olives and sun-dried figs. Your tasting will be accompanied by a selection of carefully chosen Croatian wines, allowing you to savour the distinctive flavours and traditions of the Dalmatian coast. Evening will be followed by the enchanting sounds of the mandolin, guitar and Klapa Morbin songs in the evening hours.

Join us for an authentic island experience as we head out to sea for an evening of calamari fishing. On 9 October at 17:00, guests of Hotel Lemongarden are invited to set sail with us and discover the traditional art of catching calamari. Our experienced hosts will guide you through the basics of lignjolov, sharing local knowledge, tips and techniques along the way.

Enjoy the peaceful Adriatic at sunset, learn a traditional island fishing technique and experience the sea from a different perspective. This special experience is part of our October Program at Lemongarden and is open to guests who would like to join us for an unforgettable evening on the Adriatic.

Join us on an unforgettable hike along the Maestral Trail, through the picturesque landscape and up to our Lemongarden olive grove, where we’ll pick olives together by hand.

After the harvest, our team will welcome you to the spectacular terrace of the stone house. There, our Olive Festival awaits, featuring traditional lamb on the spit, delicious Peka specialties, fresh vegetables and young wine. The Croatian band Naranča will provide the perfect soundtrack and bring the evening to a lively close.
