About this experience
The idea of half-day tour is to present wines from two different wineries for those who are limited with time. You will have opportunity to try fresh and aged wines made from indigenous grape varieties but also blends with international grape varieties. One winery is young, second one has long tradition but both wineries are among the best in Croatia with international recognition and international awards. During half day program you would have two professional wine tastings with an expert guide from each winery with rich, local snacks, you would visit wine cellars and experience the beauty of Istria. Transportation and guiding are included in price. I include only the best wineries and restaurants in my programs. Wine tastings in wineries are scheduled by special arrangement and you are not obligated to buy wines in wineries, only if you wish to.

Exceptional guide
An amazing day, the wine and wineries were amazing, but the highlight was definitely our guide, who knew so much about the local history and geography! Will go again!

A great way to spend a day
This is a small group tour. Our guide, Aggi, knows so much about wine, the grapes, the process of making wine, the local foods, the history of Istria, and she has a really good schedule planned out for the day. She took us to several scenic places on the way to two excellent wineries. The wineries showed us around their facilities and provided tasting of some of the best wines of the region. Generous platters of meat, cheese and bread were offered at each stop. We really enjoyed our time on this tour. We saw so much of the area surrounding Rovinj. It is a truly beautiful countryside.

Wonderful experience
We had a wonderful experience! All of our hosts were personable, knowledgeable and friendly. They all went over and above to show us Istria and some of the fine wines produced. If you have a chance, this is the wine experience to sample

Boutique wine tour with amazing guide
We booked the half-day wine tour visiting Benvenuti in Kaldir and Matosević in Krunčići. Our guide Agnieszka picked us up in Rovinj at 9:30 and we spent the entire day together. She was very helpful and informative, sending information in advance over email and had great knowledge about the wines and vineyard culture once we arrived at each winemaker. It was great to spend the day with a local who was so passionate about wine and could suggest other wineries to go to on our own after the tour. The tour itself was very comprehensive and we enjoyed visiting 2 boutique family-run wineries. Each winery had multiple glasses of wine along with small snacks of cheese, meat, and olive oil. In between each visit we also stopped at scenic view points to take pictures of towns such as Motovun and Pazin. Agnieszka was helpful throughout the day answering questions. Even after our tour we kept in touch and she went above and beyond by helping us to figure out how to bring a few bottles of wine back home with us. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who is interested in wine and seeing the surrounding areas of Istria.

A Sample Of Wine, A Sample Of Istria - A Short But Fulfilled Program: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rovinj.
How much does A Sample Of Wine, A Sample Of Istria - A Short But Fulfilled Program cost?
+
Prices start at $185 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rovinj usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does A Sample Of Wine, A Sample Of Istria - A Short But Fulfilled Program take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rovinj is not rushed.
Is A Sample Of Wine, A Sample Of Istria - A Short But Fulfilled Program worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rovinj, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule A Sample Of Wine, A Sample Of Istria - A Short But Fulfilled Program?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is A Sample Of Wine, A Sample Of Istria - A Short But Fulfilled Program suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book A Sample Of Wine, A Sample Of Istria - A Short But Fulfilled Program?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rovinj can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rovinj and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does A Sample Of Wine, A Sample Of Istria - A Short But Fulfilled Program start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rovinj within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rovinj?
+
On Outty we rank every Rovinj experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include BUBA-Kayak Tours Rovinj FREE-drinks,pictures,snorkeling equipment, Rovinj amazing kayak tour-free drink &snorkeling &jumps &photos, Truffle hunting adventure. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rovinj?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rovinj?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
