Rooted in the land of Istria, Meneghetti traces its origins to a 19th-century agricultural estate, shaped by vineyards, olive groves and the rhythms of rural life. After decades of quiet retreat, the estate was rediscovered in the early 2000s and thoughtfully restored, honouring its past while reimagining its future as a refined wine estate. Craft, authenticity and restraint remain at its core, guiding a way of living where heritage is not preserved as memory, but experienced through the land, the seasons and a distinctly understated sense of hospitality

Local Customs
Croatian daily dress is modern, stylish, and modest. However, local customs dictate specific rules: swimwear and shirtless attire are prohibited outside beaches, violators face fines up to €600. Religious sites require covered shoulders and knees. Traditional folk costumes (Narodna Nošnja) are reserved for cultural events, festivals, and weddings.
Daily Wear & Public Etiquette
Town Centers: Croatians take pride in their appearance and dress neatly. Casual daywear (like shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses) is perfectly acceptable, but wearing swimwear (bikinis or speedos) in city centers, shops, or restaurants is strictly banned, with hefty on-the-spot fines in coastal towns like Hvar and Dubrovnik.
Religious Sites: Churches and cathedrals are strict on modesty. You must cover your shoulders and knees. Carrying a lightweight scarf or sarong is highly recommended to easily wrap around yourself before entering.
Evening Dining: Smart-casual is the norm. Men usually wear neat trousers and a collared shirt or nice polo, while women opt for sundresses, skirts, or jumpsuits.
Tipping in Croatia
Cash can be a preferred payment option
Local Currency is the Euro
Currency exchange is typically more expensive in the airports. Our resort may be able to offer currency exchange upon arrival.
Tipping in Croatia is not mandatory but is customary and highly appreciated, especially in the service industry. Expect to tip around 10% at sit-down restaurants, while rounding up the bill or adding pocket change is the norm for cafes, bars, and taxi rides
How to leave your tip: When paying at a restaurant, it is customary to leave the tip in cash on the table or directly in the receipt wallet rather than handing it directly to the server.
Tipping Guidelines by Service:
Restaurants: Leave a 10% tip for good service. If the experience was exceptional, 15% to 20% is appropriate.
Cafes & Bars: Simply round up the bill to the nearest Euro
Taxis: Round up to the nearest round number, or add about 5% to 10% to the final metered fare.
Hotels: Tipping isn't strictly required. However, leaving 1 to 2 Euros per night for housekeeping or 1 Euro per bag for bellhops is common practice at higher-end properties.
