The special status of the entire Umag-Novigrad region in this undertaking does not necessarily surprise, since this site has always been as predestined for great achievements in wine trade and wine growing. The sun-bathed hills and the extraordinary combination of red and gray soil have been favorable to the grapevine since ancient times; so much so that in the village of Momjan in the hinterland of Buje a new variety has developed through the centuries, the nutmeg of Momjan (Muskat momjanski).

Today, some of the most prominent Croatian winemakers - Kozlovic and Degrassi, Coronica and Kabola, Ravalico and Cattunar, Clai, Veralda, CUI and many others - are working in this small area. All you have to do is choose one or two cellars (or more) on the wine route, check the working hours and start the tour. Specialized guides and maps are available at the Tourist Points and the innkeepers are waiting for you to get to know all stages of their work first-hand.

In any case, do not miss the local varieties Muskat momjanski, the Istrian Malvazija and Teran, although the modern cellars in northwestern Istria lack international varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet sauvignon or Chardonnay.
On the plate you will learn all about the country by which you travel. About the pleasures and smells, about people and their way of life, about history and cultural heritage. The Istrian cuisine is very diverse; Wild asparagus is the secret tip of the chefs in spring. Seafood is offered in summer, and in the autumn you can not miss the truffles with Istrian dishes. In winter, in the Konobe Manestra, cabbage and fried sausage are served. The Croatian cuisine is very varied, and each area has its own tradition.
