My friend and I didn’t know the absolute treat we were getting into when we signed up for the wine and truffle tour. We had the friendliest tour guide Goran whose knowledge knows no bounds. We were discussing all about the various grape varieties for the wines around Istria as well as the truffle hunting process, along with other lovely anecdotes about life in Istria and best dishes to try.
We were brought to Miro tartufi for the truffle hunting experience (mostly the work of their hunting dogs and Miro) and were treated to an amazing brunch with their truffle products. The scrambled eggs were definitely a hit! The whole atmosphere was very welcoming and homely, and it made me feel like I was a part of their family too.
We next went to Benvenuti winery for some Istrian wines and had a great time with the various wine varieties and food pairings.
While the next winery was suddenly unable to accommodate us, Goran made a few quick calls and off we were to Dobravac in Rovinj for the next wine tasting.
Overall, I’d say I had an amazing experience with Goran and I appreciate the work that EatIstria is doing to promote the local producers in Istria. This is a must do if you’re in Istria.
