Open Wine Cellars Day of Istria

Join us again this year for a delightful Wine Day on the last Sunday of May in Istria -  prepare yourself for a premier wine experience and support the planting of a new Teran vineyard! 

During Wine Day, all wine enthusiasts - and those soon to be - are invited to visit one of Istria's winemakers. Discover how they produce top-quality, world-renowned wines by blending modern techniques with traditional methods. Everyone eager to explore the wine roads and enjoy tastings of the finest wines is more than welcome!

Open wine cellar day takes place throughout Istria on May 31, 2026.

This year’s wine cellars also include Winery Fakin from Motovun and Winery Cattunar from Brtonigla, which will present their wines and winemaking tradition to visitors.

During this announced hedonistic experience, wineries will mostly offer the most famous wine varieties, from Istrian Malvasia, Teran, and Muscat to Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and excellent blends. Additionally, award-winning wines from the recent international exhibition, Vinistra, will be available-undoubtedly something for every taste.

Wine Day in Istria provides an opportunity to explore attractive and authentic wineries, unique tasting rooms, and family estates. You will be welcomed by friendly hosts who share fascinating wine stories and tastings. It’s also a perfect chance to purchase top-quality bottles.

Additionally, several wineries will offer both wine tastings and their own distillates. The Open Door Days now include an increasing number of producers specializing in exclusively strong alcoholic beverages, ensuring you return with some truly attractive labels of Istrian spirits or liqueurs such as biska, medica, or teranino.

Wineries from different regions of Istria are participating, together showcasing the richness of the local wine scene:
