Build your day around one meaningful appointment: a guided truffle outing, an olive-oil tasting or a conversation in a winery. Leave space around it for the landscape and an unhurried meal. A producer's working season is part of what makes the visit special, so arrange access in advance.
Places to begin
Istria / The heart of the harvest
White truffles, vineyard slopes and a medieval town above the Mirna Valley. Give Istria's autumn capital more than an afternoon.
Kvarner / The island's other gold
Olive groves, Žlahtina and coastal villages. Follow the island into a season shaped by the land as much as the sea.
South Dalmatia / Vineyards above the southern sea
Plavac Mali, the slopes of Dingač and the food traditions of Ston. Follow autumn through one of Croatia's most distinctive wine landscapes.
Istria / The coast, with an Istrian table
Historic lanes, a woodland peninsula and a natural route inland. Rovinj is a beautiful first chapter for an autumn journey through Istria.
Eastern Croatia / Where autumn takes flight
Wetlands, bird migration and wine-cellar culture. Follow the season east for one of Croatia's most individual autumn journeys.
One season. Different stories.
