Excellent tour
My husband and I did this tour as part of a 10 year anniversary trip to Croatia. We spent 3 nights in Rovinj and did this tour on our first full day. This was a private tour with just us and our guide Angie. We were picked up from our hotel and taken on a great day that included 4 stops. The first stop was an olive oil manufacturer. We received a tour of the facility and then did an olive oil tasting. We also had several courses of food and several wine tastings. It was raining the day we went so we had to be inside, which was very nice, but if you go on a nice day the outdoor area was beautiful with a great view. The staff at this stop was informative and friendly. The second stop was the truffle hunting stop. We were given boots and rain ponchos by the staff. We went out with a larger group with a truffle hunter and 2 dogs. While we didn't find any truffles, we had a fun time out with our guide. We then had lunch in a beautiful space. There were appetizers, wine, and two truffle dishes. Everything was delicious. The third stop was the town of Motovun. We walked around and saw the town which was very nice and good way to walk off all of the food and drinks we had. The last stop was a winery. We had several wines and a charcuterie board. The staff here was also wonderful. There is so much food on this tour. We could have gone without breakfast that morning or something very small and we did not need dinner that night, just a small snack. There was also more wine than I had expected. No complaints from me, I loved it all. Angie was a terrific guide. She knows a lot about Istria and the places we visited. She also had umbrellas for all of us and even let me use her jacket as it was colder and rainier than expected. This was the perfect way to spend a rainy day in Istria and allowed us to see more of the region then we would have as we didn't rent a car during our stay.

Wonderful day in Istria
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the pleasure of exploring Istria with our tour guide, Agnieszka, and the experience was absolutely unforgettable. She is incredibly knowledgeable about Croatian history, culture, and traditions, and brought each stop of our journey to life. Our day began at Ipša, a family-run olive oil producer known for their award-winning extra virgin olive oils. We learned firsthand about the olive harvesting process as we stood beside freshly picked crates of olives, ready to be pressed. Agnieszka explained the deep roots of olive oil production in Istria, dating back to Roman times, and guided us through a tasting that highlighted the region’s unique terroir. We also had the opportunity to see truffle-hunting dogs—Agnieszka explained the history of truffle hunting in the Motovun forest, an area famous for its prized white truffles that attract gourmets from around the world. Watching the dogs in action was both educational and charming. The journey continued with a visit to Rossi Winery, one of the region’s oldest wine producers, established in 1885. Agnieszka guided us through a tasting of their exceptional wines and brandies, connecting each sip to Croatia’s long history of viticulture, which stretches back to ancient Illyrian and Roman settlements. We finished the tour in the hilltop town of Motovun, a beautifully preserved medieval village with Venetian architecture. Walking through the cobblestone streets and standing beneath the imposing bell tower, Agnieszka shared stories of Motovun’s strategic importance during Venetian rule and how the town has remained a cultural and culinary hub of Istria. The views over the Mirna Valley were simply breathtaking. Agnieszka not only shared facts but also stories and context that made every tasting, every step, and every view meaningful. Thanks to her, we walked away not only with delicious flavors of olive oil, truffles, and wine but also with a deeper appreciation for Croatia’s history and traditions. If you’re visiting Istria, I highly recommend booking a tour with Agnieszka—you will come away with memories and knowledge that last a lifetime.

Istrian culinary Adventure
Red carpet service with a friendly and informative guide. You will get to tour and sample local wines, olive oils and foods and talk with the producers. The highlight of the trip is the truffle hunt with a truffle hunter and their dog! This trip is highly recommended but make sure to come with a big appetite!

Istrian tapestry - gourmet tour combining wine, truffles and olive oil: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rovinj.
How much does Istrian tapestry - gourmet tour combining wine, truffles and olive oil cost?
+
Prices start at $440 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 Istrian tapestry - gourmet tour combining wine, truffles and olive oil take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Istrian tapestry - gourmet tour combining wine, truffles and olive oil worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 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 Istrian tapestry - gourmet tour combining wine, truffles and olive oil?
+
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 Istrian tapestry - gourmet tour combining wine, truffles and olive oil suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Istrian tapestry - gourmet tour combining wine, truffles and olive oil?
+
Around 5 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Istrian tapestry - gourmet tour combining wine, truffles and olive oil 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, Truffle hunting adventure, Truffle Hunting and 3-course Truffle Brunch in Motovun. 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.
