A small-group gourmet food and wine walk in Piran, with generous Istrian tastings, local history from Jan, and plenty to sample.
“We were in port for a day and did a walking tour of the area through the ship but wanted to experience the foods of the region. Jan was an amazing guide and so passionate about the region and the food. We tasted carpaccio of the sea, a variety of olive oils, meets and wine. This was followed by 2 fish fishes, grappo and gelato. To say we were stuffed was an understatement. For anyone who is in the fence don’t think twice about it. We had the BEST afternoon!”

A small-group 2.5 hour Bled food tour with lunch, wine pairings, and a quick Lake Bled stop, built for real taste of Slovenia.
“The tour was excellent! We had a very friendly and knowledgeable guide and learned a lot about a country, culture, and food we had little experience with previously. We made five stops with good food and wine pairings at most. We regularly do food tours when we travel, and I can’t recommend a better way to learn about a city. Don’t eat lunch beforehand!”
