The family distillery Aura is located in Buzet, in northern Istria, where nature is particularly generous. Therefore, the diligent employees of the distillery apply the inexhaustible gifts of untouched nature in the best possible way in the production of their delicacies. Hand-picked wild herbs and fruits, in a unique old cellar in the heart of Buzet, are lovingly and skillfully transformed into exclusive brandies, liqueurs, gins, and jams prepared according to traditional recipes.

Visitors have the opportunity to get acquainted with the entire process of making products at the Aura distillery, from macerating herbs, distilling Teranina and gin Karbuna to bottling, labeling, and preparing them for further distribution.
