We were looking for an olive oil tasting off the beaten path and we found this absolute gem. Mr. Grebac gave us his personal attention and spoiled us with not only olive oil tastings, but a beautiful (and very generous) Istrian meat and cheese board, three different wines, a plate of delicious sweets made by the grandmother, and cordials. He took us to see his adorable miniature goats and friendly donkeys. The patio is welcoming and peacefully surrounded by olive trees. The olive oils are all fresh and delicious. I hope to return someday!

We were the only ones at the time so we had superb experience of individual experience from mr. Grebac. Presentation on the TV was super educational, and mr. Grebac put us on a little test of tasting and ranking his olive ools, like real sommeliers :) Olive oil and all the food, ambience, and nature is really rounded experience, worth the visit. And let's not forget the cute donkeys :)

We have had a lovely tasting on a terrace looking out over olive trees and a wonderful entourage. Tastings are perfect and hospitality is splendid.

We came from Brazil to visit Slovenia and Croatia and had a lovely time at Monte Formento. Tino (the host and owner) conducted the tasting with us and was super friendly! We went with our toddler and he also had a blast. We recommend it for food lovers and families!

The olive oil tasting at Monte Formento was an absolute pleasure and exceeded all expectations. In a charming atmosphere, the friendly host presented us with the history and process of olive oil production and led us into the world of flavors and aromas of different varieties of olive oil. We also tried the locally produced food and cheeses which were served with their olive oil and their own wine which was also excellent. We ended with excellent homemade cakes. I recommend! Unforgettable!
