What to expect

Learn how the production of a unique gin takes place near Olbia, in northeastern Sardinia. This special gin comes from the distillation of fermented myrtle berries and together with your guide you'll discover how the drink is obtained from the raw material: you'll first visit the artisanal still where the extraction takes place, then the laboratory where the transformation is completed.

Not only will you have the opportunity to learn about the production of this gin, but you'll enjoy an excellent cocktail prepared by an expert, paired with fresh oysters and olives. Everything will be framed by the relaxing atmosphere of the location, where you'll enjoy your cocktail with a spectacular view of the Gulf of Marinella. It will be an experience full of curiosity and authentic flavours.

PROGRAMME

Visit to the myrtle plantation, a cultivation of Myrtus communis, where the plants grow in their natural environment without ever having been treated with pesticides. Five different varieties of myrtle are grown here, selected from the approximately 200 varieties recorded in Sardinia. During the tour, the company's philosophy and the cultivation methods used will be explained.

Visit to the production laboratory, distillery and steam-powered still where gin and essential oils are produced, with explanations of the entirely artisanal production process.

Guided tour of Costa Smeralda and San Pantaleo from Baia Sardinia

Just 20 minutes from the coast, the pace of life shifts down a gear as you arrive in the rustic village of San Pantaleo. It's sat at the base of a mountain range, where towering granite formations create a dramatic backdrop to this otherwise low-key community. Local guide Valentina, says, “San Pantaleo has a creative, artsy edge. It's a spot that's attracted lots of artists, musicians and writers over the years, meaning there's stacks of choice when you browse the stalls of ceramics, paintings and jewellery.” You'll have half an hour here, so be sure to head to the village square to see local life unfold. As you head back towards the coast, the scenery shifts. The hills flatten out, the greenery becomes more manicured and the horizon switches from mountain peaks to the masts of luxurious yachts bobbing in the marina. At the heart of the Costa Smeralda you'll find the glitz and glamour of Porto Cervo – a total contrast to the dream catchers and tie-dye scarfs of San Pantaleo. After a guided tour of the purpose-built resort, you'll have free time to ogle the yachts, sip a coffee at a stylish pavement café or check out the designer boutiques.After seeing two very different sides of Sardinia, you'll head back along the coast to Baia, which will feel like a stylish yet relaxed balance. There's free time here to swim at the beach or grab a drink with your fellow travellers before you return to your hotel.

Departing from the port of Golfo Aranci on a catamaran, you'll glide toward Cala Sabina for your first swim stop of the day. From there, you'll continue to Porto Rotondo, where granite cliffs, hillside villas and tucked-away coves come into view as the coastline shifts around each bend. You'll stop again at Costa Smeralda for a swim in its natural pools and enjoy a Sardinian lunch served on board. The day wraps up at Cala Moresca's sheltered bay, where there's time for a longer swim before cruising back to the port.
