The experience

Three hours on foot through Rovinj means you move at a pace that lets you stop, eat, and actually taste what you're tasting. The route takes in the green market first (where locals buy fresh fish, vegetables, cheese and honey), then moves through the eateries and wine bars where the six tastings happen. Three of those tastings are Istrian wines, poured at stops that also let you see the architecture and history the guide is explaining: the most famous shopping street, the waterfront walkway where boats drift past, and St. Euphemia Church, which sits on the highest point of the old town and dates back to the 18th century.

A licensed guide leads the group, which stays small enough that you're not herding through the streets. The eateries and shops can change from one tour to the next, the operator rotates them, so the specific places you visit depend on the day, but the format stays the same: you walk, you stop, you taste, you learn. Wear comfortable shoes. The tour runs in all weather. If you're vegetarian, note it in the special requests box at checkout and the guide can arrange substitutions at the eateries. Other dietary restrictions (gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan) cannot be accommodated.
