Ta' Mena Estate

Ta’ Mena Estate is owned by the Spiteri family and was founded by their late mother Carmela, popularly known as Mena, who worked hard to purchase and cultivate the land until her pre-mature death in 1986, when the project was partially shelved.




In 2002 the Spiteri Family decided to start again to regenerate and enlarge this estate which now covers around 25 hectares of agricultural land with over 95,000 vines, 1500 olive trees, 800 orange, lemon and mandarin trees and 600 fruit trees. There is also an area where vegetables, tomatoes, strawberries, melons and water melons are cultivated.



 There is also a small farm on the estate with goats, sheep, rabbits, chicken, pigeons and other poultry. The Spiteri's are practically realizing their late mother’s dream of integrating agriculture with tourism so that one sector sustains the other. Ta' Mena Estate also has a state of the art winery with underground cellars where they produce premium white, rose and red wines under the brand Marsamena Wines. They also have a food producing facility where they produce the Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil, their well known Traditional Tomato Paste which is matured by the sun, various jams, liqueurs, pure honey, carob syrup, capers, olives and many other traditional food products. The strategy behind this project is to offer a genuine Gozitan product to their clients, using only natural ingredients and produced according to recipes inherited from their fore-fathers.


At Ta Mena Estate one can go around, enjoy and learn and about crops, trees and food processing in the traditional way. They organise weddings, parties, tours and tasting sessions and other activities. It is a sort of a health farm and an educational experience to young children, adolescents and adults.



Agri-tourism is definitely the new type of holiday making that is flourishing everywhere and Ta’ Mena Estate is surely a very particular experience with a Gozitan Green Touch, which must not be missed when visiting the sister island
