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.

Experience Highlights

Taste Landhe, a 100% acorn distillate that represents a world first in spirits production.

Walk through a working berry orchard at the foot of Monte Limbara in the Gallura countryside.

Sample three locally crafted distillates made from wild blackberries, arbutus, currants, and acorns.

Licchitta is the only multi-berry distillate currently available on the global spirits market.

Tasting is accompanied by artisanal Sardinian amaretti, tilicche sweets made with honey and oranges, and semi-matured cheese.

Gain insight into the full distillation process, from berry selection to bottling, guided by the producer himself.
