  • Discover a unique distillery: tastings of artisanal spirits made from berries and acorns

  • Surrounded by the nature of Monte Limbara: the perfect setting for an intoxicating experience

  • Taste traditional Sardinian sweets and savories: perfect pairings for unique new flavors

Visit a berry distillery in Tempio Pausania, north-eastern Sardinia, for an experience that will delight the palate. Your host and producer, Fabio, will welcome you to his property surrounded by greenery, at the foot of Mount Limbara, where you will breathe in the mountain air and learn about his unique products created in the distillery, whose history and secrets are linked to the creation of unique spirit drinks. They are made from wild berries such as blackberries, gooseberries, currants and arbutus, but above all from acorn, which has never been produced anywhere in the world and is the result of passion and years of study to refine the technique.   The tasting will be accompanied by typical Sardinian sweet and savoury products, for an intoxicating experience recommended both to enthusiasts and to those who wish to approach this world of new and unparalleled flavours for the first time.
  • Distillate tasting is available for participants aged 18 and over
  • Under the age of 18, it will be possible to request soft drinks

TASTING

The company, the only one in Sardinia in the cultivation and sale of fresh berries, is located in the countryside of Tempio Pausania, at the foot of Mount Limbara, among olive trees and berry plants. 
Following in-depth studies of the climate and the nature of the terrain, these three different distillates were born:

  • Lìcchitta (‘delicious’ in Sardinian dialect): a distillate of blueberries, white and red gooseberries, blackberries, white and red currants
  • Melalione (‘arbutus’ in Sardinian dialect): a distillate of arbutus, the fruit of the Mediterranean maquis, characterised by six months' ageing in acacia barriques
  • Làndhe (‘acorn’ in Sardinian dialect): a distillate of 100% cork acorn, a raw material never before distilled in the world

PROGRAMME

  • The guided experience begins with a short walk through the berry orchard and an explanation of the berry distillate
  • Afterwards, upon entering the distillery, the guide will tell about the strawberry distillate and briefly introduce the small farm
  • This will be followed by an explanation of the acorn distillate and all the machinery in the distillery and its use
  • In conclusion, there will be a tasting session with samples of all three distillates accompanied by sweet and savoury pairings

At the end of the visit, the guide will accompany participants back to the meeting place.
