Central & Eastern Istria


The setting, down in a verdant valley by a bubbling river, and the striking architecture of its tasting room make this Istria's most impressive winery to visit. Various 'wine experiences' are on offer, including tastings and winery tours (price on application) – or you can just call in to buy a bottle of the signature muscat, malvazija, sauvignon blanc or teran.
