We booked the half-day wine tour visiting Benvenuti in Kaldir and Matosević in Krunčići. Our guide Agnieszka picked us up in Rovinj at 9:30 and we spent the entire day together. She was very helpful and informative, sending information in advance over email and had great knowledge about the wines and vineyard culture once we arrived at each winemaker. It was great to spend the day with a local who was so passionate about wine and could suggest other wineries to go to on our own after the tour. The tour itself was very comprehensive and we enjoyed visiting 2 boutique family-run wineries. Each winery had multiple glasses of wine along with small snacks of cheese, meat, and olive oil. In between each visit we also stopped at scenic view points to take pictures of towns such as Motovun and Pazin. Agnieszka was helpful throughout the day answering questions. Even after our tour we kept in touch and she went above and beyond by helping us to figure out how to bring a few bottles of wine back home with us. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who is interested in wine and seeing the surrounding areas of Istria.

Just wow! ???? A friend recommended Sailing Pulpa while we were in Rovinj & we can’t thank them enough. Our day sailing with Romy & John was most definitely the highlight of our holiday. They made us feel so welcome, let us decide on the itinerary, served us amazing lunch, (& catered perfectly to some food intolerances & a vegetarian.) (Special thank you to Romy’s mum for the delicious home-made food!) They were the perfect hosts - Romy & John left us in peace when we first boarded & were relaxing & soaking up some sun, and later (after #wineoclock ????) we had a lot of laughs together as we sampled their delicious homemade wine. We also really loved hearing about the history of the boat. Highly recommend & we will most definitely be back. Thank you guys! You’re the best! See you next time. ????

We had a 2 hour sunset tour. First we didn’t believe we were at the right place. The boat was much more beautiful than we had expected. Marino and Ivana quickly put up the sails and we went for 90 minutes to a nearby island. After a swim we were offered a shower on board and drinks while sailing back. Really amazing and worth every penny!!
