The people behind
Istria Gourmet.
Local roots. A shared love of Istria.
A place we love.
A passion we share.
Istria Gourmet is your local partner for discovering Istria through its culture, food, wine, and people. For more than a decade, we’ve helped visitors experience the region through personal connections and local knowledge.
Our relationships with hotels, restaurants, wineries, activity providers, and local venues shape every journey we plan. From a culinary escape to a company retreat or a gathering with friends, we bring thoughtful planning and a personal welcome to every experience.
Founded in 2016 by Toni Krasnic, author of Best of Istria and Adriatic Road Trip, Istria Gourmet grew from a desire to share the region’s culture and culinary traditions. Today, that same affection for Istria connects our team.
LOCAL PEOPLE. PERSONAL CONNECTIONS.
