We hebben ontzettend genoten van alle heerlijke wijnen, lokale gerechten en olijfolie. Alen verteld met passie over de omgeving en geeft veel uitleg over de wijnen. Absoluut de moeite waard!

Our day started really well, Alen was a knowledgable and friendly guide.
First vineyard visited, lovely wines and very good varied tasting selection.
On the tour we booked we had been promised, on the website a three course homemade Istrian meal at one of the vineyards we visited. The price of 225 euros each for two of us, reflected this element of the tour in our view. As the vineyard wine tastings where generous and the wines varied, we expected a taste pairing with the meal. I think actually less wines and a better selection of foods to enhance the wines would be better.We went to enjoy and learn, not to just drink large quantities. Maybe others don't?
However on our trip no three course meal was provided, just two more small cheese and ham platters, one with a few tomato bruschetta. This was very disappointing and not as advertised.
It was a real shame, because the vineyards visited were lovely.
I would advise anyone booking this trip to check with Alen as to wether a three course pairing meal, as advertised on his website, is going to be happening on their visit to avoid any disappointment.

A fabulous day, just book and enjoy it!
We are so glad we booked this day out in Istria with ThisisIstria. We hopped in the car and said "whisk us away for a day out" - and that is exactly what he did. Alan is a great tour guide, the ideal blend of local knowledge and fun. (And also a good and safe driver, which is something to appreciate after some crazy-scary Italian taxi rides!). We had an interesting truffle hunt with Nicola, a small-vineyard experience with the shy passion of Dean, a beekeeper/honey experience thanks to translations from Alan (interesting to compare with our beekeeping experience in New Zealand), a gorgeous truffle-infused lunch in Livarde, and another generous wine/olive oil tasting in Ipsa. So much food, wine, olive oil, conversation and fun with Alan, we would totally recommend it. This has positively influenced our remaining days in Istria, and we will definitely tour with Alan again when we return to Istria. Just book and enjoy...
