Branch to Bottle 2026

Details:

Join us for Branch to Bottle 2026, the latest edition of an annual tradition that has celebrated Malta’s olive harvest since 2019. Set among the ancient Bidni olive trees of Wardija, the evening begins with a welcome glass of Cassar de Malte and a selection of nibbles. As the sun begins to set, you’ll be guided through the grove and introduced to the olive harvest, with the opportunity to try picking some of the olives yourself. The journey continues in a secluded part of the grove, where you’ll take part in a comparative olive oil tasting among the trees. You’ll taste our Bidni Extra Virgin Olive Oil alongside another high-quality local olive oil and a standard supermarket variety. This engaging blind tasting will help you recognise the differences in aroma, flavour and quality—and better understand what makes locally produced extra virgin olive oil so distinctive. As twilight settles over the grove, you’ll sit down to a generous multi-course dinner created by the Mediterranean Culinary Academy. The menu celebrates the Maltese landscape through local produce, familiar flavours and thoughtfully crafted dishes, all brought together by the newest harvest of Bidni Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Still and sparkling water will be served throughout the evening, with coffee served at the end of the meal. Both are included in the ticket price. Please note that wine, beer and soft drinks are not included in the menu or ticket price. A fully stocked bar will be available throughout the evening, where guests may purchase a selection of wines, beers and soft drinks. The welcome glass of Cassar de Malte served upon arrival is also included in the experience. Spaces are limited, and Branch to Bottle has become one of our most sought-after annual events. Early booking is strongly recommended. If you have any dietary preferences, allergies or intolerances, please let us know when booking and we will do our best to accommodate them with care.
