This weekend, the annual Vinistra trade fair marks 30 years of showcasing Istria’s successfully revived wine industry. Featuring more than 120 winegrowers and makers, this three-day event takes place at the Žatica sports hall in Poreč, where oenophiles can sample the best tipples the region has to offer – and meet the producers who create them.
As regularly acknowledged by the experts at Decanter magazine, Istria's wines have garnered global acclaim in recent years, the Benvenuti brothers of Motovun claiming three gold medals alone at the most recent awards ceremony.
Starting from Friday, May 10, and wrapping up on Sunday, Vinistra also includes a gourmet zone for top-quality Istrian products such as olive oil, grappa, prosciutto, honey and chocolate.
Vinistra, Žatica sports hall, Vukovarska 3, 52440 Poreč. May 10-12. Tickets available here.
