A Journey Through Taste and Tradition
The Flavors of Istria
Begin your culinary journey in Istria, a region known for its rolling hills, medieval towns, and world-class truffles. Wander through Motovun’s cobblestone streets, taste locally pressed olive oils, and join a private truffle hunt led by expert foragers and their dogs. Pair your finds with a glass of crisp Malvazija wine, surrounded by sweeping vineyard views.
Where flavors meet the Adriatic breeze
Dalmatian Coast Indulgence
Continue south to the sun-drenched Dalmatian Coast, where seafood and salt define the local palate. In Split, dine al fresco near Diocletian’s Palace, tasting grilled octopus and Dalmatian prosciutto. Sail to nearby islands to enjoy freshly caught fish prepared on the beach by local chefs — a true embodiment of coastal simplicity and sophistication.
Wine, Culture & Zagreb’s Modern Edge
End your trip in Zagreb, where Croatia’s capital blends continental charm with creative gastronomy. Visit boutique wineries just outside the city, enjoy a contemporary tasting menu at a Michelin-recognized restaurant, and stroll through vibrant markets where locals gather for morning coffee and seasonal produce.
