Begin your adventure with a pickup from Rovinj or Pula and head to Motovun, the region's most iconic medieval hilltop town. Join your guide for a walking tour through ancient stone streets, admire the Venetian architecture, and take in breathtaking panoramic views of the Mirna River valley and surrounding vineyards from the town walls.
Next, meet your local truffle hunter and his expertly trained dogs, who will lead you through the forest on the hunt for these hidden gourmet gems. As you walk, learn how truffles grow, how the dogs are trained to find them, and why this centuries-old craft remains such an important part of Istrian culture.
After the hunt, continue to Grožnjan, a charming artist village with a fascinating story. Abandoned after World War II, it was revitalized by artists from across the region and is now a vibrant cultural hub. Your guide will lead you through its romantic stone-cobbled alleys, colorful galleries, and hidden corners.
Enjoy free time to browse local art studios, sample truffle products at authentic shops, grab a coffee with a view, or simply wander through this peaceful hilltop gem. By early afternoon, return to Pula or Rovinj.
