House of Rovinj's Pelinkovac
An original museum dedicated to herbal liqueurs produced in a century-old factory located on the same street has opened in the city center.
The modest exhibition and sales area presents award-winning liqueurs from the Darna factory, from authentic Rovinj pelinkovac to amaro, orahovac and egg liqueur, as well as various others. This museum, or rather boutique, combines tradition and modern expression and offers visitors un opportunity to taste and learn about the characteristics of certain liqueurs. There you can find objects that were once used in production, and the process of producing pelinkovac itself is depicted on the walls. Pelinkovac is a bitter liqueur and is one of the trademarks of Rovinj, which is made according to a secret traditional century-old recipe that, due to technological changes, has undergone minimal changes. However, what gives Rovinj pelinkovac its special aroma and taste is the maturation in oak barrels.
The house of the Rovinj pelinkovac, with meticulously thought-out details of the space, offers a unique experience of getting to know the love for herbs, tradition and liqueur, and is the result of dedicated work that began back in 1925.
