Wine and dine events Istria are held throughout the year. Some of wine and dine events Istria are more established and better known while others are locally known. But all wine and dine events Istria, if you ask Frank, are worth visiting. There is only one condition: you need to like eating well and drinking good wines. Taste buds have no reason to be bored in Istria with Frank’s list of the top wine and dine events Istria. Wine and die, I mean dine, Istrian way!
Wine & Dine
We love to eat! We love to travel! We absolutely love tasting various food on our travels, and more often than not, we also choose a destination based on the gastronomic heritage and experiences it offers.
So if you are anything like us, you will want to try the best of Croatian food and gastronomy.
This is why we created the Wine & Dine part of our website! We share here the best restaurants in various Croatian destinations. You can also read a post on typical Croatian food, the food you don’t want to miss but that sometimes can be quite difficult to find in the restaurants.
Bon appétit!
En primeur wine tasting of young Malvasia
Vinistra, the association of winegrowers and winemakers of Istria, organizes the first Croatian en primeur wine tasting of young Istrian Malvasia vintage 2011.
Restaurant Djudja and Mate in Vid
Restaurant Djudja and Mate in Vid is a lovely place. One of my favorite in Croatia. It is not a fancy place. It doesn’t offer the most extensive wine list or creative cuisine and famous, young chefs.
Restaurant Kapetanova kuca in Ston
We often visit restaurant Kapetanova Kuca. It’s one of three restaurants in Mali Ston, a little village at Peljesac peninsula, famed for mussels, oysters and other seafood cultivated and harvested right there, in Ston Bay. Other two restaurants are Bota Sare, and Koruna.
Olive Oil Tasting
I had another great experience – Extra Virgine Olive Oil Tasting in Istria. I went for olive oil tasting at Belic Family. Belic Family are one of the best olive oil producers in Istria. They produce 11 different extra virgin olive oils under the brand Oleum Viride. The name itself was used by ancient Romans for olive oil produced from medium ripe olives.
Restaurant Kukuriku in Kastav
Another great meal at Restaurant Kukuriku in Kastav. I love Kukuriku. I’ve already been his fan for a while. In Kastav, a small town close to Opatija, owner, Nenad Kukurin, has two restaurants with completely different concepts, but equally great food.
