Old School Distillery - Mini tour
Discover the heart of Istrian tradition by visiting the Old School Distillery in Vošteni. This "Mini Tour" is the perfect choice for anyone who wants a short but meaningful insight into the world of artisanal brandy and liqueur production.
Your experience begins with a warm welcome from the host, after which we take a tour of the production facility. During 45 to 60 minutes, we will take you through the entire process of creating distillates - from the careful selection of ingredients to the boiler itself and the final product. You will find out what makes our distillery special and how we combine tradition with modern quality standards.
After the educational part, the best part follows - the tasting.
In a relaxed atmosphere, you will taste three different flavors of our premium spirits. With each sip, we will explain the notes and aromas you feel, and to make the experience complete, we will also serve you homemade snacks.
Whether you are a connoisseur of spirits or just a curious traveler, this tour will give you an authentic taste of Istria that you will remember for a long time.

Great local distillery and warm hospitality. During our holiday at Villa Blog (right next to the distillery and also managed by the host Tanja) we visited the on-site distillery. The host was extremely friendly and welcoming. The homemade spirits were very tasty and we tasted quite a lot. Especially the gins were very interesting and full of flavour (and the "original" als very punchy 😉) Along with the drinks, we were served delicious snacks made directly with fresh ingredients from their own garden and farm, which was a really nice touch. Overall, a great experience. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!

We stopped here because of other recommendations. Unfortunately, no one was around but friendly grandma who spoke only Croatian. However, she let us taste all the spirits but couldn’t explain anything. We were a little sad that we couldn’t tour the place and didn’t get any background information. Nevertheless, we bought some bottles but had to pay cash as grandma was not able to use the terminal for card payment.

The distillery is a true gem — welcoming, authentic, and full of character. The team creates such a lovely atmosphere, making you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. The service was outstanding, and you can really taste the passion behind their homemade products. Every sip felt genuine and crafted with care. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great company, excellent service, and beautifully made local spirits. I would happily visit again!

The owner was really nice and made the tasting experience a lot of fun. We tried almost all of the liquors, brandy’s and gins and even bought a lot of bottles to drink back at home. Lovely experience!
