Details
Head inland to explore some of Istria's renowned hill towns — reminiscent of Tuscany but with their own unique Istrian flair.
Begin in the quaint hilltop village of Oprtalj, where sweeping countryside views capture the timeless spirit of inland Croatia. Speak with a community member about village life and the special children's charity that existed here for decades. Take time to check out its 16th-century Venetian loggia, wander its quiet cobbled streets, and enjoy a beverage on the terrace of the village café.
Continue to a family-owned olive oil estate for a tasting of award-winning extra virgin olive oils and local wines, while learning about agricultural traditions that have sustained local communities for generations. A light lunch is included.
Travel down into the Mirna Valley and stop in Livade, renowned as Croatia's truffle capital, to learn how this prized forest delicacy is hunted.
Conclude in Motovun, one of Istria's most iconic hilltop medieval towns. Explore its ancient walls, artisan shops, and panoramic vistas before gathering for a tasting dinner showcasing the region's celebrated seasonal cuisine and wine. (Breakfast, lunch, and dinner included.)
