    Amazing and extremely enjoyable experience

    We decided to take the truffle hunting tour in September and we’re lucky enough to have Alan as our guide. The visit allowed us to go into the forest to watch Ivan and his two working dogs search for truffles. In order not to get too muddy you are given shoe coverings so no need to worry about continuing your journey covered in mud! You are then driven to Ipsa oil where you have the opportunity to taste different olive oils, produced and sold by Ipsa followed by a delicious pasta lunch topped with the truffles you found on your truffle hunt earlier that day. You then were able to sample their locally produced wine. Quite a lovely experience as the family are so welcoming and enthusiastic about what they produce. We then were able to enjoy a wine tour at Kozlovic winery. Not only was the wine superb but the setting was amazing. Alan’s knowledge of the local area is extensive having lived there all of his life. He knows everyone and if anyone can organise a trip tailored to your needs, he is definitely your go to agent.

    Response from the operator: Wow......Thank you very much for your kind words. Take care BG Alen

    Outstanding

    We booked wine tasting and truffle hunting but Alan also included honey and olive oil tasting for us, we were treated to an amazing 5 star experience all day, within the most beautiful settings that you wouldn’t find on your own, with expert explanations including personal and geographical historical information, we have done many tours over the world but I will remember this for a very long time, it has made us want to come back to Istria and to see and experience more. Thank you Alan

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words... c u soon in Istria

    Amazing day in Istria!

    We had an amazing day with Alen and his friends throughout Istria on the Truffle hunt and wine tour. Everything was magical, from the truffle hunt and meeting the dogs, to the generous portions of olive oil, wine and delicious local foods. One day is not enough, we will be back! Thank you for an enjoyable experience!

    Response from the operator: Thank you See you soon in Istria

    Truffle and wine / Taste of Istria from POREC, ROVINJ, PULA: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rovinj.

    How much does Truffle and wine / Taste of Istria from POREC, ROVINJ, PULA 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 Truffle and wine / Taste of Istria from POREC, ROVINJ, PULA 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 Truffle and wine / Taste of Istria from POREC, ROVINJ, PULA worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 15 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 Truffle and wine / Taste of Istria from POREC, ROVINJ, PULA?

    +

    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 Truffle and wine / Taste of Istria from POREC, ROVINJ, PULA 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 Truffle and wine / Taste of Istria from POREC, ROVINJ, PULA?

    +

    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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Truffle and wine / Taste of Istria from POREC, ROVINJ, PULA 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.
