Meneghetti Wine Hotel

A Relais & Châteaux property set on a historic 19th-century agricultural estate near the medieval town of Bale in Istria, Croatia, Meneghetti Wine Hotel & Winery sits amid its own vineyards and olive groves, which remain central to the estate's identity. Restored in the early 2000s, the property produces its own wines and olive oil, and grows organic produce for its kitchens. There are two restaurants: the Meneghetti Restaurant, a garden-to-table dining room featured in the Michelin Guide, and the Oliveto Restaurant & Lounge Bar, a more relaxed, open-air option serving Mediterranean cuisine with views over the pool and vineyards. A beach club - at a separate location nearby - offers light seaside dining. The estate also has a spa, an outdoor swimming pool, a tennis court, and yoga classes held among the olive groves. An outdoor sculpture exhibition is permanently on display.
