Additionally, it is a treasure trove of culinary delights. Istrian cuisine is a reflection of the climatic, geographical, and historical wonders of the area, combining multiple local culinary traditions based on olive oil, seafood, seasonal vegetables, aromatic spices, and indigenous plants.

  • The town of Hum, Hum, Croatia
    During our tour we will visit 3 famous Istrian villages where we will taste local liquors, wines, cheeses, truffle products, and marmalades. Hum, the smallest town in the world, is located in the heart of Istria that claims only 20 inhabitants. Your visit to Hum will be like a beautiful fairy tale of small Istrian towns. This hidden, picturesque region of Istria is extremely friendly to all visitors who come to marvel in the sights the town has to offer. According to local legend, Hum was built with the stones left over when giants were building towns in the Mirna River valley, an area in central Istria that includes wonderful mountain towns such as Motovun, Roč, and Bale. Apart from being famous for being the smallest town in the world, Hum recently became popular for biska, a spiced brandy made with mistletoe according to an old Hum recipe.

  • Hilltop Walled Ancient City of Motovun, Motovun, Croatia
    Northern Istria, located high above the Mirna River, is home to arguably the most attractive and famous medieval town in the country - Motovun. This fascinating city that lies on top of a hill is the characteristic symbol for the inner heart of Istria. The bell tower, which was built in the 13th century in a Romanesque-Gothic style, dominates the center of the historic town from its position adjacent to St Stephen’s 17th century parish church. There are many other beautiful historic buildings that surround it. Motovun’s forest is a particularly good hunting ground for truffles, the alleged aphrodisiac fungus which grows underground and is prized for its distinctive aroma. Vineyards surround the town from all sides; Istria’s finest wines are produced from the grapes of these vineyards. The whole region is sprinkled with superb restaurants and “konobe.”

  • Groznjan Hilltop village of artists, Istria, Croatia, Groznjan, Croatia
    Grožnjan is a small Istrian town that holds a great cultural significance not only to Croatia but worldwide. Surrounded by green hills and magical white soil, this town is a must-see for those who want to discover the treasure trove that is Istria. Because of its interesting history, Grožnjan is rich in ancient churches, prehistoric sites, medieval castles, magnificent palaces, and many other historic structures whose past glory was recovered once again through restoration. Its white soil feeds the many neighboring vineyards and olive groves. Because of all this, the area of Grožnjan is ripe with agritourism and many taverns and restaurants offer traditional Istrian cuisine to their guests. Grožnjan is also home to several national and international artists. There are as many as 28 ateliers in this small town; there is also the City Art Gallery which hosts artists’ works from around the world (even the well-known Imaginary Film Academy found its home here). In the summer, all of Grožnjan becomes a stage for world renowned jazz and classical musicians, as well as many of the other artists who have discovered the true joy of creation here.

Loved the chance to sample local cuisine and winemakers, while seeing parts of the Croatian countryside. Driver/guide was excellent and very informative. A most enjoyable day.

We are independent travellers who found Koper Trips online when looking for day trips out of Trieste where we spent 3 nights. After several emails back and forth, we decided that the best plan for us was to book both the Flavours of Istria tour and the Piran & Panoramic Slovenia tour. As things turned out, we saw only Koper, Slovenia, at the end of our day, but that was not a problem for us because the rest of the day was filled with beauty, good conversation with Dejan, delicious food, and lots of great wine! In Croatia, we picked up an additional guest in Rovinj before heading to Hum, Kotle, Motovun, and lunch along Limski Fjord. After returning our other guest to her lodging in Rovinj, we went to Koper where Dejan showed us the office, gave us a lovely wine tasting, and walked us through the pretty Tito Square. The day was fabulous, and we all want to return to this area! Dejan picked us up at 8 AM at our hotel in Trieste and returned us there almost 12 hours later. We are very pleased with Koper Trips!

Tour was not as advertised. Only one of 3 listed stops was actually visited. Tastings involved visiting commercial shops that had samples of olive oil, truffles and the like. There was no formal meal provided or even offered. Wine tasting was again at commercial establishments. The last stop was at a winery where we were charged to taste wines. The scenery in Istria is beautiful, but I do not believe we received the value provided in the pre-tour description of what the tour would involve. A disappointment.
