Discover Istria

Istria is more than a region – it's an experience for all the senses.
This enchanting Mediterranean oasis captivates with its scenic hills, stone-built towns, olive groves, vineyards, and crystal-clear sea.

If you're visiting Istria for the first time, prepare to be welcomed by a unique blend of natural beauty, rich history, and exceptional gastronomy. From vibrant cities like Pula and Rovinj, to medieval hilltop towns such as Grožnjan and Motovun, and coastal gems like Fažana and the Brijuni Islands – every step in Istria reveals a new story.

Wine in Istria – A Living Tradition

Istria rightfully holds the title "Land of Wine".

Its mild Mediterranean climate, limestone-rich soil, and deep-rooted winemaking heritage make it an ideal region for producing premium wines.

Istrian Malvasia, Teran, and Refosco are just a few of the native grape varieties that have thrived here for centuries. Winemakers across the region – including our own Marčeta Winery – carry on this tradition while embracing modern techniques to create wines that leave a lasting impression.

Wine tastings in Istria are not just about sipping – they are a journey through history, soil, and the passion of generations that shaped the flavors we enjoy today.
