This year, the traditional 13th Olive Oil and Chard Festival will once again take place in Padna. Local residents will present a selection of indigenous olive oil varieties, agricultural products grown on the Šavrini Hills, and traditional Istrian dishes.
You can look forward to a rich offering of authentic olive oils, healthy farm produce from the Šavrini Hills, and traditional Istrian dishes “from the old times.” In addition to Istrian culinary delights, the event will also offer numerous activities—from joining the Padna hiking tour to enjoying genuine Istrian-style entertainment in the evening.
