Istria Food Tour
Your day begins with a pickup from your hotel in Opatija at 9 am, where our culinary adventure through Istria kicks off, heading west towards Hum, known as the world's smallest town.
Once we arrive, a guided stroll through Hum’s charming streets will unveil the many legends that surround this unique locale – its modest size belies its historical significance! The visit concludes with a tasting of biska, a locally crafted brandy infused with spices, only available here - it promises to be a delightful experience!
Continuing through the stunning Istrian landscape, we reach Motovun. In addition to exploring landmarks like St. Stephen's Church and its striking bell tower, a highlight of our visit will be the famed white truffle, a culinary gem of the forests surrounding Motovun.
To experience the distinctive flavor of this truffle, we will dine at a nearby restaurant where you will learn the art of preparing a dish centered around this exquisite ingredient. Following the demonstration, you'll have the chance to sample this creation along with other delightful local specialties – an absolute treat!
Our itinerary will then lead us to Grožnjan, a village where vineyards and olive groves play a crucial role in the local economy. As we wander through its picturesque cobblestone paths, we'll uncover the efforts of local artisans dedicated to crafting exceptional wines and olive oils.
