On this private tour, you’ll visit Kabola and Kozlović, two wineries that encapsulate Istria’s vinous identity. Kabola, an estate with over a century of winemaking heritage, is revered for its mastery of Momjan Muškat and Malvazija wines.

In contrast, Kozlović winery represents a contemporary edge in Istrian winemaking. Known for its architectural elegance and award-winning wines, it’s a beacon of Istria’s dynamic wine landscape.

Istria’s varietal richness is reflected in the array of wines you’ll sample. The signature Istrian Malvazija, a white wine with unique floral and fruit potential, is a must-try. Kabola’s Momjan Muškat, a sweet delight crafted from local grapes, offers a taste of tradition. At Kozlović, their award-winning Teran 2012 red and distinctive takes on Malvazija illustrate the depth of Istria’s viticultural offerings.
