What to do and see in Pula, Istria: The Best Wine Tours & Tastings

September 11, 2021 Veronika Gaddis

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.

4. Wines Unknown - Istrian nOrdinary Wine tour

Forum, 52100, Pula, Croatia Wines Unknown tour

Yes, there is wine in Istria. Really good wine. It is grown here since the Romans arrived 2000 years ago. Nowadays, a new generation of winemakers is rethinking traditional Istrian winemaking methods of their grandfathers by introducing different new styles and approaches. One of the newest hypes are the organic wines. However, at the three wineries we will visit, there are different sorts of wines you are going to try. From young and fresh wines, to aged, and one of those “organic” wines. This tour will give you insight on small "family" run business versus the known wineries. Imagine yourself drinking finest Istrian wines in a small cellar at a wooden table, or while sipping a fresh Malvazija you are listening to nature because you are in the middle of Istrian landscape. You can choose, would you like to go up north Istria or stay around Pula and explore our south wine region. Though different in taste because of different soil/terroir, either way you will no go wrong

Inclusions: Snacks, Alcoholic Beverages, Air-conditioned vehicle, All Fees and Taxes
