November 14, 2021 Harland Bartelt

Pula is situated at the southern tip of the Istrian peninsula and is the area's largest city. Located beneath seven hills and with views of the Adriatic, Pula's unspoiled natural surroundings are magical. Known for its mild climate and tame, beautiful sea, Pula also has a long tradition of winemaking, fishing and shipbuilding. It is also home to many ancient Roman buildings, including the well-preserved, magnificent amphitheater.

Monastery and Church of St. Francis

Reviewed By Girl36 - Manchester, United Kingdom

One of the many reminders of Christian times in Pula, the Monastery and Church is worth a visit. Well looked after and in great condition, it reminded us of the St Francis Monastery in Venice, no doubt once linked due to the history between the two cities. Don't miss the turtles in the central courtyard!

Food & Wine station Trapan

The southeast Istrian winery, only a few kilometers SE out of Pula, only 5 minutes from the motorway (Istrian Y). We offer a range of premium wines, which all come out of our 10ha of organically farmed vineyards. Wine tastings & food pairing and much more to be seen here.

Reviewed By Bmorecmore - Bratislava, Slovakia

This is a husband/wife winery. Bruno is the wine maker and he offers a detailed and enthusiastic story for every wine you will enjoy. Irena is the ‘CEO’ and she ensures that you have a wonderful wine tasting experience at their winery. We were offered a great selection of 9 wines to sample. All portions were generous and we enjoyed them on their terrace, overseeing their family goat and with good company of their two cute Pomeranians. What was great about the tasting is the progression through complexity and quality of the wine. We were fortunate that some of the wine makers friends were visiting. This resulted in a very special tasting of their original vintage from 2006. We ended up buying 18 bottles to add to our cellar. This resulted in a special gift of their next product, a wonderful Syrah, signed by the winemaker. We will age this bottle for years and look forward to trying it in the years to come
