Istria's wine production is concentrated in 4 wine centers (Buje, Porec, Pazin and Rovinj) and their surrounding places.
Come visit them and with the help of local vintners choose one of the wines that have received international awards or one the wines made in the traditional manner. Every village has its own konoba (local restaurant) offering prsut (smoked ham) and wine. Istria's winelist contains three wine sorts: malvazija (malmsey) and muskat (muscatel) of the white wines and teran of the red wines. The Istrian malvazija of a century-old tradition varies in color from hay-yellow to golden, while its odor is similar to the locust blossom. Due to its refreshing aroma it is best served with sea food. Teran praised by Casanova differs from malvazija in color. Ruby-red, of a full, fruity scent and flavor, it is best served with meat stews and venison. Muskat or moskat is according to many the best of the Istrian wines. It has a golden color, flowery scent and extraordinary dry-sweet aroma - perfect for gourmands! In addition to all of this, it is considered to be an aphrodisiac.
