Travel Style: Food & Wine Journeys

ISTRIA

Where You Sleep in Istria — We Take That Seriously.

A Service, Not a Listing

Not a booking site. Not a list of options. You tell us what matters — a sea view, a quiet hilltown, a terrace for evening wine, a host who actually knows the region — and we find the place that fits you specifically.

We know the owners. We know the houses. The rest we find out for you.

What this means for you:
— No browsing hundreds of listings — you tell us once
— Properties matched to your priorities, not a star rating
— Direct relationships with owners, not third-party platforms
— Works alongside any trip you book with us, or on its own

You talk. We listen. Then we find exactly the right place.

Self-Drive Istria

Rovinj · Motovun · Grožnjan · Pula · Labin

5 nights. Your wheel. Your pace. From €915 per person.
Private car, handpicked hotels, pre-booked konobas, full route notes 

Self-drive means you choose the pace — we choose the stops. Istria connects harbour towns, Roman history, hilltop villages and family-run cellars into a single peninsula, close enough together that the real challenge isn’t finding something worth seeing. It’s finding all of it, without missing what matters most.

You drive. We’ve already been ahead of you — the viewpoint that stops you mid-sentence, the konoba worth the detour, the road nobody puts on a map.

What’s waiting for you:

— Rovinj: 2 nights, the town that earns every photograph
— Lim Fjord: en route, mussels and oysters at their most intimate
— Motovun & Grožnjan: 1 night, hilltowns lost in time
— Labin: a day trip from Pula, Venetian old town, best pizza in Istria
— Pula: 2 nights, Rome never left — and the evenings prove it

One peninsula. A thousand reasons to stop.

Istria on Two Feet. Or Two Wheels.

Coastal Paths · Hilltowns · Vineyards

4 nights · From €415 per person
Handpicked family-run accommodation, half board and a dedicated guide throughout

Your legs. Your terrain.

Walk the coast. Ride through vineyards. Climb into hilltowns. We know the trails, the guides and the routes worth taking — including the ones that end at a konoba.

What’s waiting for you:

— Guided hikes through hilltowns, forests and coastal paths
— Cycling routes through vineyards and Venetian villages
— A dedicated guide throughout
— Family-run inland accommodation with half board
— Routes shaped around your pace

Istria doesn’t just look good from a terrace. Get into it.

Slow Istria. Take your time.

Adriatic Coast · Istrian Hilltowns

4 nights · From €985 per person

Your pace, entirely — we just make sure every moment counts.

There’s a boat with nowhere urgent to be. A harbour lunch that stretches into the afternoon. A hilltown terrace where the only decision is where to sit when the light changes.

Nothing here is rushed. Every hour has already been thought through, so you don’t have to.

This is not rest as a reward. This is rest as the whole point.

What’s waiting for you:

— Private boat days on the Adriatic
— Long lunches by the harbour
— Handpicked accommodation with beautiful views
— Slow evenings in Istrian hilltowns
— An itinerary shaped around your idea of slow

You tell us the pace. We pick the rest.

Pula — The City That Never Runs Out

3 nights · From €375 per person

Handpicked accommodation, two lunches and one dinner included

Roman. Coastal. Completely alive.

A 2,000-year-old amphitheatre in the middle of a city that still uses it — for concerts, events and evenings that begin at sunset and rarely end early. Roman temples stand beside harbour bars. Pine forests meet crystal-clear water. Hidden coves begin just beyond the city. It’s the kind of place where you plan two days and start looking for a third. History before breakfast. Seafood for lunch. The Adriatic whenever you want.

What’s waiting for you:

— The amphitheatre, one of the best-preserved in the world
— Pine forests, crystal-clear water and hidden coves
— Local food that exceeds every expectation
— Culture, concerts and a city that knows how to enjoy an evening
— Active or slow — Pula does both without trying

Most cities have history. Pula lives in it.

A Day on the Adriatic

Istrian Coast · Your Own Boat

Full day · 6–8 hours · Private skipper 

Feel Croatia. Feel the Adriatic. Feel freedom.

Your own boat. A skipper who knows the coves worth stopping for. A coastline that looks completely different from the water. Swim where the sea turns to glass. Anchor in a bay with no road leading to it. Have lunch on board, or stop at a waterside konoba. The only real decision is where to stay a little longer.

What’s waiting for you:

— Private boat and skipper for the day
— Hidden coves and quiet swimming spots
— Lunch on board or at a waterside konoba
— A flexible route shaped around you
— Time to swim, stop and stay longer where it feels right

This isn’t a boat tour. It’s the Adriatic, with nobody else’s schedule attached to it.

Day Excursion · Private · Up to 6 Guests

Ask us about extending this into a 2–3 day island-hopping escape.

→ Some days are better spent entirely on the water. Travel Sorted.

Istria’s Wine Roads

Momjan · Buje · Grožnjan · Motovun Valley

3 nights · From €485 per person

Family-run accommodation, half board and one guided wine tasting each day

The kind of trip that becomes an evening. Every evening. Mornings in small family cellars. Malvazija, Teran and Muškat poured by the people who made them. Afternoons on vineyard roads through Momjan, Buje and Grožnjan. Evenings around tables that always seem to find room for one more course. One day, the wine gives way to truffle: homemade pasta, fresh truffle shaved at the table and a glass chosen to belong beside it.

What’s waiting for you:

— Daily guided tastings in family-run cellars
— Malvazija, Teran and Muškat tasted where they are made
— A truffle lunch with homemade pasta and paired wine
— Prosciutto, local cheese and kroštule along the way
— Family-run inland accommodation with half board
— Time to stay longer when the table is too good to leave

This is not a wine tour. This is Istria, properly tasted.

→ Some roads are worth taking slowly. Travel Sorted.

Into the Forest. Then to the Table.

Paladini · Near Motovun

Half day · 3 hours · Year-round · From €100 per person

One of Croatia’s most highly rated truffle experiences

The forest goes quiet right before the dog stops. That’s the moment — knees close to the earth, hands in the soil, watching a fresh truffle emerge from the ground. Then you sit down on a terrace overlooking the landscape and watch it become lunch in front of you.

What’s waiting for you:

— Guided truffle hunt, three generations deep
— Trained dogs that find what most people never would
— Live cooking demonstration, from forest to plate
— Fresh truffle tasting on a terrace with beautiful views
— Three hours, start to finish

This isn’t a demonstration. It’s a forest, a dog and a truffle that was underground an hour ago.

Half Day · Small Group Experience

Lavender Fields of Istria

Pekići · Svetvinčenat

Day trip · End of July–August · From €45 per person, lunch included

Just outside Svetvinčenat, a small family-run field holds 36,000 lavender plants — grown with care for thirteen years.

Come at the right hour, walk through the rows, take in the scent and enjoy the field without crowds.

Then sit down to a homemade Istrian lunch: pljukanci, cheese-filled ravioli, local sauces, maneštra and a lavender dessert.

What’s waiting for you:

— 36,000 lavender plants
— Best light and quiet timing
— Homemade Istrian lunch
— Local flavours and lavender specialties
— A slow afternoon in the countryside

This isn’t just a stop. For one afternoon, the field is yours.

Istria’s Liquid Gold

Grubić Family Estate · Bale, Istria

90 minutes · From €20 per person

Istria has been recognised by Flos Olei for the ninth time as the world’s leading olive-oil region.

This is where that reputation becomes real. Step inside the modern mill, then enter the family’s original olive press from 1927 — stone machinery, old tools and nearly a century of local tradition preserved in one place. Then comes the tasting: four Grubić extra virgin olive oils, guided by the family who produces them and paired with traditional Istrian flavours.

What’s waiting for you:

— A centuries-old olive tree at the entrance
— The family’s historic mill from 1927
— Guided tasting of four extra virgin olive oils
— Istrian cured meats, bruschetta, wine and dessert
— Local knowledge shared by the people behind the oil

A century of pressing, preserved in one building and poured into your glass.

Hallstatt Day: Salt Mine, Skywalk & Lake

Salzwelten Hallstatt · Skywalk Viewing Platform · Lake Hallstatt

Full day · From €120 per person. Salt mine & Skywalk combined ticket, lake boat crossing included

Seven thousand years of salt mining, one of the best viewpoints in Austria, and a lake crossing that puts the whole postcard in front of you — all in a single day.

You’ll ride the funicular up the mountain, then go underground into tunnels that have been worked since the Bronze Age — wooden miners’ slides, an underground lake, all of it still exactly as dramatic as it sounds. Back in the daylight, the Skywalk platform hangs 360 metres above the village, the entire UNESCO old town and lake laid out below you. Then down to the water itself, for a boat crossing to the viewpoint every photo of Hallstatt is actually taken from.

What’s waiting for you:
— The funicular up, then a guided tour through 7,000 years 
— The Skywalk platform, 360 metres above the village
— A private boat crossing on Lake Hallstatt
— A guide throughout, timing everything around you

One mountain, one lake, one village that’s been worth the climb for thousands of years.

Salzburg City Break

Altstadt · Festung Hohensalzburg · Mozart’s Salzburg

2 nights · From €345 per person 
Handpicked accommodation, private guide, Festung Hohensalzburg with funicular included

Everything here happens up close.

Mozart was born here. Red Bull was invented here. Somehow both make perfect sense. Street musicians in the archways, wine in every corner, a beer from Stiegl brewed in Salzburg since 1492. The old town is UNESCO. The vibe is anything but museum. And the Alps — not behind the city, around it, inside it, part of it.

What’s waiting for you:
— A private guide through the Altstadt, Mozart’s birthplace and residence, the stories behind both
— Festung Hohensalzburg, funicular ride included, Central Europe’s largest preserved fortress
— A table we know, a cellar we know, tips for where locals eat
— Handpicked accommodation in the old town
— Advice on which concert to book and which one to skip

The old town is UNESCO. The Alps are the backdrop. Nothing here feels rehearsed.

Self-Drive: Salzburg & Beyond

Grossglockner · Thurn Pass · Gerlos Pass · Felbertauern Pass 

5 nights. Your wheel. Your pace. From €765 per person. 
Private car, handpicked hotel in Zell am See, half board

Four roads radiate out from a single base in Zell am See, each one ending somewhere completely different — a glacier, a ski town, a valley, another country entirely. You could spend a week just deciding which direction to drive next, and every one of them is worth it.

We’ve mapped every wrong turn worth taking, so you don’t have to. This is the version of the drive that only exists because someone already found it first.

What’s waiting for you:
— Grossglockner High Alpine Road: the pass that makes people wonder why they waited so long
— Thurn Pass toward Kitzbühel: the quiet way into one of Austria’s most famous ski towns, without the ski-season crowds
— Gerlos Pass toward Zillertal: a valley that doesn’t care if you’ve heard of it, waterfalls along the way
— Felbertauern Pass toward Italy: East Tyrol, then across the border into the Dolomites — the drive that turns one country into two
— Zell am See: your base, glacier peaks doubled in the lake
— Handpicked hotel, pre-booked stops, full route notes

Four passes. One base. A thousand reasons to keep driving.

Zell am See & the Salzkammergut Lakes

Zell am See · Lake Hallstatt · Wolfgangsee · Mondsee

5 nights · From €485 per person
Handpicked accommodation on Zell am See, boat rides included throughout

Some places have one great lake. This journey has four, and each looks nothing like the last.

Base yourself on Zell am See, glacier peaks reflected in the water right outside your window. From there, the lakes unfold one by one: a boat crossing to St. Wolfgang, where the Weisses Rössl has been the country’s most storied lakeside address for over a century. Mondsee, its basilica rising over the water. Then Hallstatt — the lake that’s launched a thousand photographs — where lunch is Reinanke, the whitefish pulled from these exact waters, prepared the way only a handful of lakeside restaurants still do it.

What’s waiting for you:
— Handpicked accommodation on Zell am See, glacier views 
— A boat ride on Zell am See, mountains doubled in the water
— St. Wolfgang by boat across the Wolfgangsee, the Weisses Rössl 
— Mondsee & Basilica, one of Austria’s great monastery churches
— Hallstatt, Reinanke lunch— the whitefish that only lives here
— Every lake crossing included, no logistics left to you

Four lakes. Not one of them looks the same twice.

→ Four boats. Four lakes. Zero logistics left to you. Travel Sorted.

Salzburg’s Peaks and Falls

Gasteiner Valley · Krimml Falls · Zell am See · Grossglockner

6 nights · From €575 per person
Comfort hotel in the Gasteiner Valley, daily thermal spa entry, full excursions itinerary included.

You’ll stand in front of Krimml Falls, Europe’s highest waterfall, feeling the spray before you’re anywhere near it. Cross Zell am See by boat, the mountains doubling in the water. Drive the Grossglockner High Alpine Road to Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe, the Pasterze glacier laid out in front of you. Visit a working alpine dairy for a tasting of what actually comes off these hillsides. And every evening, whichever day it’s been, the Alpentherme is included — no ticket, no extra thought, just walk in.

What’s waiting for you:
—  A comfort hotel in the Gasteiner Valley
— Daily unlimited entry to the Alpentherme thermal spa
— Krimml Falls, Europe’s highest waterfall, entrance fee included
— A boat crossing on Zell am See
— A dairy visit and tasting, regional cheese 
— The Grossglockner High Alpine Road, road toll included

Salzburg’s peaks, lake and falls. Tailored for you.

Flour on Your Hands

Old Town B&B · Apfelstrudel & Salzburger Nockerl Course or Mozart Chocolate Workshop

2 nights · From €255 per person
Handpicked B&B accommodation, your choice of course or workshop included

You’ll stand at a real kitchen counter, not a demo table, and feel dough turn from a sticky mess into something thin enough to see your hand through it. Or you’ll crack eggs into a bowl and watch a Salzburger Nockerl rise into the soufflé peaks the whole city argues about — everyone here has an opinion on whose is best, and now you’ll have one too. Or, chocolate: shavings on a wooden board, the exact ratio that makes a Mozartkugel work and not just taste like sugar. No script, no performance for a camera. Just someone who’s made this a thousand times, showing you how, and then getting out of your way.

What’s waiting for you:
— Your choice: a hands-on Apfelstrudel & Salzburger Nockerl course, or a Mozart chocolate workshop
— A skill you actually take home, not just a tasting
— Handpicked B&B accommodation in the old town
— Free time to explore the Altstadt between the workshop and your next meal

You didn’t come to watch Salzburg cook. You came to get flour on your hands.

→ Pick your course. We’ll book the rest. Travel Sorted.

Slow Zell am See. Take Your Time.

Lake Zell · Alpine Peaks

3 nights · From €315 per person 
Handpicked accommodation, half board, boat time included

The Alps at a different pace.

A boat that goes nowhere in particular, just water, glacier peaks doubled on the surface, and the day doing whatever it wants. A lakeside terrace where lunch quietly becomes the afternoon. Thermal water waiting back at the hotel, no ticket, no schedule. Nothing here is rushed, and nothing here is wasted — every hour is one we’ve already thought through, so you don’t have to.

This is not rest as a reward. This is rest as the whole point.

What’s waiting for you:
— Private boat time on Lake Zell, no fixed schedule
— Lakeside lunches that run as long as you want them to
— Handpicked accommodation, chosen for the view, 
— Mountain peaks doubled in the still water
— A pace shaped entirely around what “slow” means to you

You tell us the pace. We pick the rest.

→ Zell am See, exactly as slow as you want it. Travel Sorted.

Active Salzburg — On Foot. Or on Two Wheels.

Alpine Trails · High Huts · Salzburg Region

5 nights · From €565per person 
Handpicked spa hotel, half board, private hiking or biking guide included

Salzburg wasn’t built for one route. It was built for hundreds of them.

A gondola takes you up before your legs have to. From there, the choice is yours every single day — a ridge trail with the whole valley laid out below, or a bike route dropping through farmland and forest back to the valley floor. Lunch happens at a hut that’s been feeding hikers the same bio-farm food for generations, the kind of meal that tastes like where you are, not like a menu. Some days you’ll go further than planned. Some days you won’t want to move at all after. Both are the point.

What’s waiting for you:
— A private guide, hiking or biking, matched to your level
— A gondola ride up, so the climb isn’t wasted on getting started
— Dozens of route options, ridge trails to valley descents
— Alpine hut lunches, bio-farm, the food locals actually eat
— A handpicked spa hotel, built for recovery after a real day out

The kind of tired only a mountain, a good lunch, and a proper dinner can fix.

VIENNA

Vienna in a Day. Or Three. Never Enough.

The city that rewards everyone who goes deeper.

One day in Vienna done properly beats a week done wrong. We know which café has been serving the same Melange since 1880. The concert that fills the right room at the right hour. The Heuriger where locals go — not the one on the map. The museum that takes twenty minutes or three hours depending on who’s with you.

Vienna doesn’t rush. But it does reward those who know where to look.

What’s waiting for you:
— A morning that starts the way Vienna intended — coffee, cake
— The concert, the opera or the Heuriger — your choice, our job
— Private guides who speak your language and know every corner
— A street, a story, a table that wasn’t on any list
— One day, two days or three — each one better than the last

Vienna doesn’t show everyone everything. We make sure it shows you.
