Hiking Tour Including Wine Tasting
I’m like old wine. They don’t bring me out
very often, but I’m well preserved.

 

A relaxed walk through the countryside and vineyards, following ancient trails in the Istria Wine region!

Take a scenic hike on an old pilgrimage route. The rural route, about 6 miles (11 km), takes you through villages, vineyards, and some of the most scenic countryside in Istria. Stroll along the path and notice the beauty around you: the rolling hills blanketed in olive groves and the occasional vineyard. Pass through ancient villages that look the same as they did centuries ago when pilgrims would stride past.

After about 2,5 hours of hiking, arrive at the striking village of Korte, a tiny old town plopped atop of a medium-sized hill. Take part in a wine tasting here at a local winery and taste their different local varieties. There’s nothing better than comfortably resting after reaching the end of the trail and sitting down for a delicious lunch.

If you like hiking, discovering natural beauty, and gourmet delicacies, join us on our spectaculat Hiking Half Day Tour.

What Can You Expect

This small group hike tour will provide a great overview of the Primorska and specifically Istria wine region in a relatively short time. The activity starts right in the city center (or in front of the designated hotels) from where you will be shuttled out of the city in just 20 minutes.

We head to the beautiful countryside where the trail starts. A friendly environmental guide will guide you around this area that is characterized by a continues alternation of valleys and gentle hills cloaked in vines and olives, but also of harsh peaks covered in woods of oaks, chestnuts, cypresses and pines. This area is dense of warm materials such as limestone, pietra serena and terracotta.

The itinerary includes a many photo opportunities along the way, ancient little churches, medieval towers and some interesting information about the history of this spectacular territory full of great landscapes and amazing views.

The glorious hike trail gets to an village of Korte, where you will get to visit a winery followed by some wine and olive oil tasting just before having a nice Istrian lunch. Time to relax before getting back to the city center by minivan.
