Olive Harvest in Istria – Fragrance, Flavor and Autumn Magic with Luxistria
Around Poreč, Višnjan and Buzet, olive groves come alive with laughter and the gentle sound of leaves in the wind. Families and friends gather to pick olives by hand, just as generations before them did. The result is liquid gold – extra virgin olive oil, known as one of the finest in the Mediterranean.
The olive harvest is not just work; it’s a celebration of connection with nature. Every olive tells a story, and every drop of oil carries the taste of Istria’s sun and soil. After the harvest, comes the reward – tasting freshly pressed oil with warm bread, local cheese and prosciutto, accompanied by a glass of Malvasia.
At the same time, near Buzet, the truffle season reaches its peak. The earthy aroma of truffles blends perfectly with the freshness of new olive oil, creating the true flavor of Istrian autumn.
To experience this magical time, Luxistria offers elegant villas and apartments surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. It’s an opportunity to live the real Istrian rhythm – peaceful, flavorful, and authentic.
Let Luxistria be your guide to Istria’s autumn – where every olive and every truffle tell a story of tradition, taste and timeless beauty.
