Distillery Experience | Tempio Pausania, Sardinia
Distillates Workshop and Tasting at a Berry Farm in Tempio Pausania
Discover three world-unique spirits crafted from wild berries and acorns at the foot of Mount Limbara.
This distillery tour in Tempio Pausania invites you into a one-of-a-kind artisan workshop where wild Sardinian ingredients are transformed into spirits found nowhere else on earth. Host and producer Fabio guides you through his berry farm and distillery, sharing the knowledge and dedication behind each bottle.
The property sits at the foot of Monte Limbara in the Gallura region of north-eastern Sardinia, surrounded by olive trees, berry plants, and clean mountain air. The farm is the only operation in Sardinia cultivating and selling fresh berries commercially, a distinction that reflects years of study into local climate and soil conditions.
The session covers three distinct distillates: Licchitta, a multi-berry blend unique on the world market; Melalione, an arbutus distillate aged six months in acacia barriques; and Landhe, a 100% acorn brandy with no added sugar, no caramel, and no wood passage — a raw material never before distilled anywhere in the world. The experience closes with a tasting paired with traditional Sardinian sweets and semi-matured cheeses.

This experience is located in Tempio Pausania, the main town of the Gallura sub-region in north-eastern Sardinia, Italy. Situated at the foot of Monte Limbara at approximately 566 metres above sea level, the area is characterised by granite landscapes, Mediterranean maquis, and a cooler microclimate compared to the Sardinian coast. Tempio Pausania is roughly 70 kilometres from Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport, the primary international gateway to northern Sardinia. The surrounding Gallura territory is traditionally associated with Vermentino wine production, but this distillery represents a newer artisan tradition focused on wild berry and native fruit spirits. The farm's proximity to Monte Limbara Natural Park adds natural and ecological context to the visit.
