Wine & gastronomy
A place best understood at the table.
Malvazija and Teran. Olive oil with character. A simple plate of fuži. Follow the flavours inland.
Make one estate visit the centre of the day, not one of five rushed stops. Ask who grows the olives, which wines are made here and what is in season. Around Motovun and the Mirna valley, truffles shape many menus; on the coast, let the day’s catch guide your choice. Confirm tastings in advance and arrange transport when wine is involved.

A weekend between coast and countryside
Arrive in Rovinj, devote a day to Motovun, then leave slowly through Grožnjan. A three-day suggestion for two nights, with one base and space between the stops.
