Our island culinary picnic takes place at the olive oil grove house of one ofthe best olive oil producers in Croatia, Borivoj Bojanic's Olive Oil Hvar. The extra virgin olive oil here is known as island green gold, and it's famed for its subtle flavor and distinct piquant taste. All of the herbs and vegetables used in the preparation of your meal are just as special. Each is planted and cultivated on sustainable and environmentally responsible principles. And the setting for our picnic couldn't be more perfect - an amazing view over Hvar's 2234 years old Ager field, the oldest preserved agriculture plain in the world, a UNESCO World Heritage site. What a perfect afternoon--enjoying island life, cuisine, unspoiled nature and a fabulous host! Our Culinary Picnic is also great for unique celebration place or special event.
