Flavours of Istria Tasting Experience from Koper

Knowledgeable and extremely accommodating tour guides and hosts gave us a wide variety of sites and flavors from a view of the Alps over Lake Bled to a visit to the capital city for a wine tasting and fun day at the city center market which was great for shopping and fantastic local foods. The tour was slightly modified due to a change in guide availability and they went out of their way to make it more than we’d originally expected. The traditional crème pastry cake at lake Bled was delicious.

This was an amazing day Deyan met us promptly at our ship's port and immediately engaged us in a most personable way. He was engaging, interesting and thoroughly knowledgable about his country! He loves what he does and his enthusiasm for his land is contagious. We traveled to three different villages and the places he picked to show us were wonderful. The distillery i Buzet was charming and classy at the same time. The presentation was perfect! We loved everything we tried there and the prosciutto, cheese and bread were delicious. We bought wonderful liquors there! Montovun, our second stop was a story book town atop a mountain with incredible views. it's a little steep to walk : our final stop at a winery was also wonderful. The wines were delicious and the music in the background was great! The two cellists!. The young woman who presented the wines was sweet and easy to talk to. All in all it was a day not to be forgotten ever. Deyan made it the best day ever and we felt rested afterwards due to the complete feeling of escaping our everyday life in this most beautiful country. I would recommend this tour to everyone- couples, families with adult children, friends... you will not be sorry!
