Wine & more is yours unique wine tour of Istria: a convenient yet full Istrian wine experience, including a lot of education, delicious wines & fun in one of Croatia most beautiful wine regions, Istria.

The first winery is Dobravac or Trapan Winery, where we will start with our first tasting of 5 different wines and enjoy a light sanck of local ham / istrian prosciutto/ and cheese.

At the second winery, Matosevic or Meneghetti wines, you’ll see the cellars that have been in the familz for over 100 years and learn more Malvazija Istriana and Teran wines.

At the third winery, San Tomasso, it’ll be time to learn about wine & food pairing.
