Experience the flavours of the Mediterranean in their truest form, the product of nature and imagination. Istria, a marvellous Mediterranean peninsula surrounded by crystal-clear sea, is well known for its tourist amenities along the coast and its lush green interior, with countless cultural-historic sights and unforgettable natural panoramas from hilltop villages. It is also a treasure trove of gastronomic delights. Istrian gastronomy reflects the historical, geographical and climatic features of the Peninsula, and combines various traditions of local cuisine based on indigenous plants, aromatic spices, seasonal vegetables, seafood, and olive oil. Look behind the smile of your Istrian host and you’ll find an open invitation to discover and taste the true characteristics of this blue-green paradise, products of diligent work and a natural environment that attracts you with its beauty and living history, seen in every stone and field. Once you are here, new vistas open up before you, your senses intensify and the tensions of the outside world disappear, replaced by new experiences and friendships to share and treasure.

Istra – čudesni mediteranski poluotok kojeg okružuje bistro more; turistički razvijena obala i magična zelena unutrašnjost nude brojne kulturno-povijesne i prirodne znamenitosti te nezaboravne panorame s brežuljkastih naselja; pored toga krije i pravo bogatstvo tradicije okusa. Istarska gastronomija vjeran je odraz povijesnih, zemljopisnih i klimatskih značajki Poluotoka te rezultat ispreplitanja raznih tradicija s pučkom kuhinjom baziranom na samoniklom bilju, aromatičnim začinima, sezonskom povrću, plodovima mora, maslinovom ulju… Pozivnica na istraživanje i kušanje vrijednosti ovog plavozelenog utočišta krije se u osmijehu istarskog domaćina, proizvodima njegovih vrijednih ruku i prirodi koja zavodi svojom ljepotom i živom prošlošću što izvire iz kamena i grude zemlje. Jednom kada ste ovdje, vidici se šire, osjetila produbljuju, napetost popušta, bezbrižnost obuzima, a nova iskustva i prijateljstva postaju trajne dragocjenosti…
