Where every glass tells a story
The Istrian Peninsula is one of Europe’s hidden wine gems - a landscape of rolling vineyards, family-run estates, and award-winning winemakers producing exceptional Malvazija and Teran wines. Unlike the crowds of Tuscany or Bordeaux, Istria offers a quieter, more personal experience - full of character, craftsmanship, and generous hospitality.
As a guest of Grand Villas Adriatic, you are perfectly positioned to explore this world at your own pace. With a private driver at your disposal, you can visit the region’s finest wineries in comfort and privacy - with tastings curated just for you, in settings that are as beautiful as the wines themselves.
Kabola Winery
Nestled near the village of Momjan, Kabola is known for its amphora-aged Malvazija - a method rooted in ancient tradition. The estate sits among cypress trees and vineyards with views stretching to the Alps. A tasting here feels like stepping into a timeless world.
Meneghetti Wine Hotel & Winery
An icon of Istrian refinement, Meneghetti combines architecture, gastronomy, and winemaking with elegance and ease. Structured reds and sparkling wines are served alongside olive oils and seasonal dishes. A tasting often becomes a lunch, a walk, or a quiet afternoon among the vines.
Cattunar Winery
Located in Istria’s “Terroir Quadrant” - four distinct soil types - Cattunar crafts bold, expressive wines with a clear personality. Known especially for its Teran and aged Malvasia, this winery blends heritage with innovation in a setting that is both modern and deeply rooted.
Kozlović Winery
Perhaps the most recognised name in Croatian winemaking, Kozlović offers stunning architecture, elegant wines, and sweeping views. Whether you prefer a relaxed tasting on the terrace or a private vertical flight in their exclusive lounge, the experience is personal, polished, and unforgettable.
