pag
What are the three charms of Dalmatia? Take this tour to find out.
Learn all about wine, olive oil, and figs from local provider MasVin, who grow and produce items made with these locally revered charms.
MasVin has an organic production of all three set upon karst rock formations which are bathed in many hours of sun each year in Polača, less than 45 minutes from Zadar. It's here that the team has an ecological production, and the tour allows you to see the distillation process of the wine and olive oils all year-round.
Before you leave this family site, where they produce just 70,000 bottles of premium wine each year, be sure to grab a few bottles to take home. Choose from red, rosé or white! If you're short on space, pack in a jar of olives, figs, or perhaps a jam and a few bottles of the extra virgin olive oil.
