Agy was an amazing guide who has extensive knowledge of the region and its history. The wineries chosen were beautiful and each were unique and delicious. The dinner was absolutely incredible, and everyone we met on the tour was so generous and kind.
Highly recommend if you want to learn about Istria up and coming wine story.

Our guide was top notch and very fun. The lunch in between tastings was some of the best food we have had throughout our trip. Would definitely recommend.

I can’t imagine a better wine tour. Augie (I’m not sure how to spell her name) picked three very nice wineries, a visit to an art community, and a wonderful local place for lunch. She shares interesting information all along the way. We had a great day.
