10 THE TRAIL OF THE ISTRIAN MALVASIA

Photo gallery


Start in the town square in Brtonigla, take the road for Grobice and you will soon reach Baredine from where you descend to the valley of the river Mirna. At the bridge and the main road turn right towards Antenal. After 1.8 km turn right and uphill to Sv. Dionizije, then through Serbani, Nova Vas, Pavići and Druškovići arrive to Turina and continue to Marinčići. From there, along the paved road through Fiorini continue to Karigador. In Karigador turn right and at the nearby entrance of the Camping Park Umag turn right on the unpaved road through Radini and Lukon back to Brtonigla.

The route starts in Brtonigla, the “wine town” with two exceptional taverns, Astarea and Morgan (Bracanija), as well as the restaurant San Rocco where you can experience the unique flavours and riches of Istrian cuisine.
For wine lovers we recommend the wine store San Rocco and the wine cellar Veralda where you can taste wines and top quality olive oils. The route continues along country roads through vineyards, olive groves, and along the river Mirna all the way to the picturesque fisherman’s villages of Karigador and Dajla on the coast.
You can visit the cave Mramornica near Brtonigla and the art gallery Aleksandar Rukavina in the town centre.
