Olive Museum 10/10 - This museum's staff are amazing. Very knowledgable and accommodating. They go the extra mile to ensure you have a good experience. Buy your lavender oil at their store so you know it is authentic, good price too. The reasonable entrance fee also gets you into KLS castle which was also very enjoyable and another Game of Thrones location. (Bus leaves KLS castle and goes right in to Split). The museum dining room can only accommodate a limited number of people. Would have loved to have ate there! These Canadians thank the staff for an unexpected great experience!

Fabulous! - Wonderful nice place! Very great staff who seemed very happy with their job and what they did there. Many beautiful plants one could read about and learn about their properties. Lots of great products that we ended up buying when we really wanted to support this business! Will recommend everyone in the surrounding area to visit! ⁇ 🏻

We’d live there if we could - The grounds are beautiful. The museum is graphically beautiful and educational. Products at the shop are top notch. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We also ate at the little restaurant there and the food and atmosphere was incredible - one of our favorite places on the globe. We would buy a house there if we could.

Fantastic place, incredible food - get the ice cream!! - A fun surprise after our visit to Klis! There was a lot of love and care put into the museum, the garden, and the food was absolutely incredible - highly recommend the ice cream with orange sage and olive oil.

Very nice - Very nice! We discovered this because the entrance ticket to the Klis fortress gave free access. We were afraid of a place with exorbitant prices but not at all. We ate at the tavern and it was very, very good. Menu between 21 and 27€ starter, main course, dessert. Simple but very well cooked dishes, with fresh produce!

Peaceful - Went here from a cruise ship including Kastela district. Lovely, peaceful place. Had an olive oil tasting and a lovely lunch in a traditional courtyard consisting of two cheese, tapenade, fig cake, plum cake and wine. Afterwards we saw the distillation process, went into the museum (wish we had had longer there), walked around the beautiful gardens and went in the well-stocked and reasonably priced shop

Olive Museum and Tasting Experience - Staff very welcoming and friendly. Extra virgin olive oil has been the best we have ever tasted and we will certainly be bringing back some to share with our family and friends. We paid €17 for olive oil tasting experience however we were left disappointed as only lasted 30 minutes with sampling two of the facilities products. We would recommended just buying ticket for museum as you can sample all products on local shop. We do recommend however feel that olive oil experience should have been more special for money paid. We also were looking forward to having lunch here but were told we could not be seated for an hour+ due to a group lunch sitting. Again, we feel disappointed with this experience.

A little disappointed - Educational visit, pretty garden but I am disappointed because I expected to see local production, but the olives come from Dubrovnik, the oil sold at the shop is very expensive (much more than other oils sold in the areas of var or maritime alps). Excellent restaurant with local cuisine and garden products.
