Sensory tour and picnic on a herbal estate
Nature’s Healing Essence
Discover the healing spirit of Istria through an intimate sensory journey into its aromatic heart. Nestled in the green hills of central Istria, this unique herbal estate is home to over 300 species of Mediterranean medicinal plants — grown with care, studied with purpose, and experienced through scent, science and touch.
Led by a specialist herbalist, the private tour takes you through cultivated gardens and wild corners of the estate, offering insight into the biology, chemistry, and therapeutic use of essential oils. Learn how these herbs shape traditions of aromatherapy, natural skincare and holistic healing — with hands-on moments that engage all senses.
Beyond the plants, the land itself tells its own story: terraced fields, olive groves, a 120-year-old fig tree growing from stone, and quiet karst caves. After the tour, enjoy a curated picnic among Mediterranean greenery — with homemade bread, herbal delicacies and seasonal ingredients from the estate’s organic garden. Alternatively, take in the panoramic views from the estate’s terrace and enjoy a relaxed meal that elevates the herbal experience into a refined moment of pleasure.
On select evenings, stay a little longer as the estate opens to the stars. A guided stargazing session reveals the constellations and galaxies above — completing the day with a quiet sense of wonder, in a place where nature still holds its secrets.
