“Istria Gourmet Week was a trip of a lifetime. Every detail was taken care of—all we had to do was relax and enjoy. Extraordinary food and wine, experiences we could never have found on our own, and people who welcomed us like family. Never rushed, always cared for.”

THE PEOPLE BEHIND ISTRIA GOURMET

A love of Istria.
Shared with you.

Istria Gourmet was founded in 2016 by Toni Krasnic, author of Best of Istria and Adriatic Road Trip. What began with a passion for the region’s food and culture grew into a network of local guides, chefs, winemakers, and friends.

This week is an invitation into that world. Personal encounters, thoughtful planning, and the pleasure of discovering a place through the people who call it home.
