        Excellent wine tour! Definitely book!!!
        My husband and I went to Istria with the intention of seeing as much as possible of the peninsula, and we wanted to have some memorable experiences. This was a perfect addition to our trip! Agi was excellent as a guide; she was knowledgeable about wine and she had a lot of information to share about Croatia in general. We were picked up in a clean and comfortable, air conditioned car, and we visited beautiful wineries over the course of an entire day. We were served quite a variety of wines at each place, both fresh and aged, and some digestifs and aperitifs as well. The wineries we visited were simply gorgeous! The views were breathtaking at certain stops, one winery overlooked a valley with mountains in the background, with a picturesque view of Motovun, and at another we had a view of grapes being harvested in the vineyards below, truly spectacular! Importantly, we were served plenty of food to enjoy with our wine at every stop. In between our visits to wineries, we also had an incredible, multi-course lunch at a lovely restaurant. It was truly a wonderful day! We completely enjoyed each aspect of the tour and highly recommend this!

        Great wines, food and learning experience!
        Loved our tour with Agi. We did the Istrian Corners tour. The tour included two great wineries which also served extensive cheese / bread / meat plates as well as a wonderful dinner at a phenomenal restaurant. While the wine and food were great, the real highlight was Agi. Her detailed knowledge of history of the area was fascinating as she took us to various lookout points and old towns. We highly recommend her tours!

        Just the perfect day out!
        We booked a private day tour directly with Agi and had a wonderful day. She was quick to respond to messages and is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide and knows her stuff so if you have particular requirements let her know in advance and she can tailor a tour to suit - there are a lot of vineyards in the region! She is also very helpful - Mr W had a credit card issue which Agi went out of her way to resolve, thanks again Agi! She picked us up on time from our hotel took us to 3 very different wineries in the region where we tasted (many!) excellent and varied wines presented by excellent hosts and accompanied by "snacks" (delicious local charcuterie, cheese, bread and olive oil platters) at each one. We had a visit to the lovely hill town of Grožnjan and we also had to make room for a delicious late lunch/early dinner at a little restaurant near the Slovenian border consisting of lots of very tasty regional food. The tour cost may seem a little high but absolutely everything is included during the 10 hour trip apart from any wines you may buy of course and we honestly thought it was very competitively priced. Couldn't recommend enough!

        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

        If you only do one tour - make it this one!
        We had a fabulous day guided by the wonderful Agi! Myself, my husband and our adult son spent the day visiting 3 very different vineyards around the area. The wines in each location were accompanied by platters of delicious meats and cheeses. Driving between each vineyard we stopped off at some stunning viewpoints and visited an artists village which had some wonderful crafts. Agi was great company and told us about the history of the country as we drove around. To top it all we stopped at a local restaurant and had a traditional meal. A great day all round, and we purchased a few bottles to take home.

        An amazing Istrian experience!
        An amazing Istrian experience! This is a genuine wine and food experience which you will remember forever. Not only do you sample a wide range of quality Istrian wines (with beautiful local meats, cheeses and olive oils) at three unique wineries but at each one you get a private tour with the winemaker to see the production process. The 4 course lunch at a family restaurant in the heart of Istria is a delicious and authentic gourmet experience. This is a premium wine experience which you will not regret doing. Agnieszka is a fabulous guide and host who has a genuine relationship with the restaurant and winemakers, which is reflected in the welcome you receive at each location. Her passion for, and knowledge of Istrian wines is strong. You also drive through beautiful villages and gorgeous scenery on the way to each location. Highly recommended!

        Outstanding experience, a must do while visiting Istria!
        We spent 2 full days touring almost the entirety of Istria from wineries to olive area tasting to truffle hunting. Agi completely personalized the experience to what our interest were and what we were feeling each day. Her contacts got us into some amazing tasting experiences that we never would have been able to do on our own. Her personal insights added tremendously to the overall experience. She added stops in the middle of the day that we had not planned on but based on our conversations thought we would enjoy and we did. If you only have time for one tour while visiting Istria and would make it with Agi, you will come away with an experience better than you could have hoped for!

        Amazing Tour
        What an amazing tour of some of the Istrian countryside! Agi was so helpful and accommodating from the beginning of our booking process. I was traveling with my family, including 3 kids, and she made sure we would be comfortable and happy the whole time. She was so flexible and kind as well when we needed to make some last minute changes. We enjoyed a wonderful tour of a couple wineries and a small town. We enjoyed learning about the history, culture and wine throughout the entire day. Her expertise about the wine and history and relationship with the wineries adds so much to the whole experience. If you are in the area, this tour is must!

        Fabulous wine, fabulous day
        We had an absolutely fabulous day on our wine tour. It was everything we hoped for and more! We went to 3 different wineries that were all fabulous, great wine and food and all so different from each other. It was interesting and engaging and everywhere was so generous with the wine and with their time! We also had a wonderful lunch, got some great photos and saw some beautiful countryside. It was a brilliant day I would really recommend this tour!

        BOOK THIS TOUR!
        This was such an amazing tour that helped us get to know Istria on a more personal level. Agi is full of knowledge, we enjoyed talking to her and she really made this an unforgettable experience. The wineries we visited were all beautiful and we enjoyed hearing the stories of how each got its start. We received a generous charcuterie board at each winery, thank goodness because there was so much wine at the first tasting! The four course meal was at the most adorable family restaurant. The location was beautiful and the food was outstanding. We are so glad that we booked this tour!

        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.

        Amazing Guide Agnieszka, Top Quality Wineries, Incredible Lunch
        The Intensive Tour was an absolutely wonderful way to experience Istria. Agnieszka is a marvelous guide and truly lovely person. She is caring, knowledgeable, and helpful. I can't say enough good about her and her tour. She took three of us on a whole day tour. I was traveling solo and was able to join a delightful couple for the tour. The wines were all of the highest quality and each winery provided us food to accompay our tastings. The restaurant she took us to for lunch served us an incredible lunch. The scenery along the way was beautiful. If you want a truly enjoyable day with a wine expert and all around wonderful person, take one of Agnieszka's tours. Well worth it.

      What a wonderful introduction to the gourmet offerings of Istria! Our tour guide, Agnieska, made the day a treat with her knowledge and love of the region. We enjoyed all of the stops along the way - the view of Motovun, olive oil experience, truffle hunting, and brandy and wine tasting. What more could could you ask for in a tour!

      The trip was beautiful and Agnieszka's knowledge of the area and history helped to make the experience incredible. The Istrian countryside is breath taking and she knew the geography well, including small historic towns. The truffle hunting excursion eith the dog was very unique and fun. The olive oil tour and tasting was great. The wine tasting overlooking the countryside at Rossi was an incredible highlight. Would definitely recommend this excursion.

      Thank you Agnieszka for such a wonderful day!

      We selected this wine tour based on its reputation. We had the most amazing experience of our entire month long trip. Agnieszka is an outstanding guide and conducted the most complete and informative tour we have ever had in Europe, and we have been traveling there yearly for over 40 years. It was a complete day of joy. Food and wine plus the many sights were the best and made better with Angie's commentary. Highly recommend her and this tour to all serious travelers. Myrna and Frank
