The ULTIMATE Day in Istria (PULA + WINE TASTING at Kabola and Kozlovic Winery)

We visit Pula, see Roman Ruins, taste olive oil, and visit two wineries in Istria: Kabola and Kozlovic Winery for wine tastings in Croatia.

On this episode of Mapping It, we spend a day exploring Istria in Croatia!

We start our day early in Rovinj and drive to the southern tip of Istria to explore the city of Pula. Pula has a ton of ancient Roman ruins to explore, including an incredible amphitheater. After spending a couple hours wandering around town, we visit the House of Istrian Olive Oil to learn about the olive oil making process and the history of olive oil. Then we enjoy an olive oil tasting before getting back on the road.

We drive to Motovun in the heart of Istria to explore the beautiful hill town before moving on to Kabola Winery for an epic wine tasting! If you’re interested in booking a tasting at Kabola Winery, here’s a link to their website (not sponsored):

We take our time enjoying good wine and food, with incredible scenic views. Later in the afternoon, we visit Kozlovic Winery for a tour of their cellar and another wine tasting! If you’re interested in booking a tasting at Kozlovic Winery, here’s a link to their website (not sponsored):

We end our long day back in Rovinj where we wander the town after dark.

We're Karin and Jeremy! Just an average couple with a love for travel. We work full-time jobs that only offer limited vacation time, so we work hard to get the most out of our holidays. Join us on our adventures as we maximize our time off on Mapping It.
