Embark on a private tour of Istrian wineries in Croatia, enjoying tastings of up to 5 wines in each cellar and breathtaking views of the countryside. Book now!
Our tour will start with the complimentary pick-up at your accommodation. We will then continue to our first winery for the initial wine tasting session. The second winery is a short drive away, approximately 30 to 45 minutes, through the beautiful Istrian countryside. Upon arrival, we will tour the cellar and enjoy wine tasting with some appetizers. We will then proceed to our final winery. During the short drive, you will be able to see some great views of vineyards, medieval towns, and the Adriatic Sea. At the last winery, we will have a delightful local lunch.
The tour will take up to 7 hours.
10 am
The first winery is Matosevic or Dobravac Wines, where we will start with our first tasting of 5 different wines and enjoy a light snack of local ham (Istrian prosciutto) and cheese.
11:30 am
At the second winery, Trapan or Meneghetti wines, you’ll see the cellars that have been in the family for over 100 years and learn more about Malvazija Istriana and Teran wines.

At the third winery, San Tomaso, it’ll be time to learn about wine and food pairing. After briefly enjoying the views of the beautiful Istrian countryside and the cellars, we will make ourselves comfortable in the winery “locanda” for a typical Istrian meal consisting of starters (local produce such as cheese, prosciutto, salami, and bread with olive oil), some lovely homemade pasta, and finally finish off with a dessert – all accompanied by a wine tasting of the winery’s fine selection of wines.
