Istria, Year Ahead

A truffle forage through ancient forests.
A new olive oil tasting hall, shaped by light, stone, and patience.
The ruby depths of Istrian Teran poured among rolling vineyards.

This is not a trend.
This is Istria.

As 2026 begins, we return to what matters most: the land, the people who work it, and the moments that unfold when nothing is rushed. Istria does not announce itself loudly. It reveals itself slowly — to those who know how to listen.

Istramore was born from that understanding.

We believe that travel is not about accumulation, but connection.
That flavor is a language.
That authenticity cannot be staged — only shared.

In Istria, the year opens in its most honest season. Forests grow quiet. Vineyards pause. Olive trees wait. What remains is clarity: of taste, of place, of purpose.

We Follow the Land

With families like Ipša, whose lives are tied to the forests near Motovun, truffle hunting is not an experience — it is a continuation. Guided forages move at the pace of nature, led by instinct, knowledge, and respect passed down through generations. Meals that follow are simple, grounded, and deeply generous. Nothing is added that does not belong.

With Oio Vivo, olive oil becomes more than a product. The opening of their new tasting hall in 2026 creates space for understanding — of varietals, harvest timing, bitterness, balance. Tastings unfold slowly, accompanied by bread, conversation, and the light of late afternoons.

With Franc Arman and the Narduči vineyards, wine speaks clearly of its origins. Teran leads — structured, mineral, unapologetically Istrian. Tastings are intimate, views expansive, and the philosophy remains unchanged: let the land do the talking.

We Travel Slowly

We do not believe in ticking boxes.
We believe in tables shared after long days.
In quiet cellars.
In paths that lead through forests, not crowds.

Istramore experiences are designed to breathe — leaving space for conversation, silence, and discovery. Whether walking Rovinj’s narrow streets at dusk, cycling the Parenzana trail through tunnels and viaducts, or standing beneath the stars in Pula’s ancient Arena, movement is intentional, never hurried.

We Choose Intention Over Spectacle

Sustainability, for us, is not a label — it is a responsibility. We work with those who protect the land because their lives depend on it. Small producers. Family estates. Low-impact practices. Experiences that give more than they take.

Luxury, in 2026, is time.
Luxury is access.
Luxury is knowing where you are — and why you are there.

This Is an Invitation

Istramore is not for everyone.
It is for those who travel with curiosity.
For those who understand that the most meaningful moments are often unannounced.

In 2026, Istria opens itself quietly — through flavor, landscape, and people who care deeply about what they do.

Those who plan early understand why.

Curated journeys, seasonal experiences, and private access to Istria’s most authentic places are available through istramore.com.

Come slowly.
Stay present.
Return changed.
