Slovenian Istria - a region of contrast, character, and quiet beauty. It stretches across just 46 km of coastline, yet holds centuries of history, flavor, and soul.
‍
On the seaside: the radiant towns of Piran, Koper, and Portorož - each with its own crown. Like three kings, they rule the shore, luring in cruise ships, creatives, gourmets, and dreamers with their golden charm.
‍
And then there's the hinterland - Istria’s raw, rugged heart. The Šavrin Hills - a flysch mountain range - define the Istrian interior. Winding roads climb into the hills, often called the "Tuscany of Slovenia" - but let’s be honest: it’s better. Wilder. More authentic.
‍
It’s a place of resistance and resilience, where strong people cultivate strong grapes. And what grows here, becomes soft and silky melodic wine you’ll crave every time the sun touches your skin.

We will explore native wines from the slovenian Istra region:
‍
‍
Malvasia (Malvazija Istrska)
‍
The queen of Istrian vineyards. Bright and coastal, or macerated and golden - Malvasia wears many dresses, but always carries the scent of summer. Its Istrian expression is unmistakable: bold, citrusy, floral. A wine that evolves with air - and lingers in memory.
‍
‍
Refošk
‍
The king. Dark, dense, and full of fire. Once reserved for nobility, this grape’s name - rex fuscus, “the dark king” - hints at its mythic past. Rich in iron and acidity, Refošk is a wine of depth, structure, and bold freshness. In the right hands, it becomes something regal: vibrant, spicy, and unapologetically alive.
‍
‍
Istrska Belina
‍
Nearly forgotten, now gently revived. Delicate, lightly herbal, and mineral-driven, Istrska Belina is a whisper from the past - a rare, subtle expression of Istria’s cooler slopes. It speaks softly but clearly: of patience, clarity, and quiet rediscovery.
