The Meneghetti Wine Hotel & Winery Joins the Van Isacker Exclusive Collection
Istria, Croatia – The Meneghetti Wine Hotel & Winery, one of Croatia’s most celebrated luxury destinations, is now proudly represented by Van Isacker Exclusive Collection.
Set on a historic 19th-century estate near the medieval town of Bale, Meneghetti is a five-star Relais & Châteaux property that seamlessly blends Istrian heritage with contemporary luxury. Originally a self-sufficient farm supplying an Austro-Hungarian military base, the estate has been meticulously transformed into an award-winning gourmet and wellness retreat, defined by authenticity, privacy, and a deep respect for the land.
Spanning more than 46 hectares of vineyards and ancient olive groves, Meneghetti embodies a true farm-to-fork philosophy. Organic produce grown on the estate, alongside its internationally acclaimed wines and world-renowned olive oils, forms the foundation of both its culinary offering and bespoke spa treatments. Sustainability, self-sufficiency, and a strong connection to Istrian culture sit at the heart of the Meneghetti experience making it particularly appealing to today’s experience-led luxury traveler.
The estate features 59 beautifully appointed accommodation units, offering a refined balance of tradition and modern comfort and broad appeal across multiple luxury segments.
Rooms & Suites, located within the original stone buildings, showcase custom-made furnishings, exposed wooden beams, and a harmonious mix of antique and contemporary design.
Residences & Villas provide greater space and privacy, with select villas featuring private gardens and swimming pools ideal for families, longer stays, and high-net-worth guests seeking discretion and seclusion.
Meneghetti’s culinary reputation is a cornerstone of its appeal and a key differentiator within the Croatian luxury market.
Meneghetti Restaurant, the estate’s fine-dining venue, delivers a modern interpretation of traditional Istrian cuisine and is Michelin-recommended, with three toques from Gault & Millau.
Oliveto Restaurant & Lounge Bar offers relaxed, poolside dining and alfresco lunches, while Boho Beach Club, open seasonally on the Adriatic coast, serves light dishes and cocktails in a laid-back seaside setting adding a rare private beach club dimension to the guest experience.
Wine, Wellness and Immersive Experiences A destination, Meneghetti offers a comprehensive range of experiential and wellness-led activities. Guests can enjoy guided winery tours, wine and olive oil tastings, and holistic wellness journeys at the Meneghetti Spa, which features adult-only tranquility zones, family-friendly indoor pools, saunas, fitness facilities, and outdoor pools. Signature treatments are inspired by vinotherapy and olive oil therapy, reinforcing the estate’s strong sense of place.
Cycling and jogging routes, complimentary bicycle use, and access to a private Adriatic Beach Club via seasonal shuttle further enhance Meneghetti’s appeal for slow-travel, wellness, and lifestyle-focused clients.
