FREE PARKING AND FREE ENTRY

See you in Motovun for a weekend filled with the flavours, aromas and experiences of Istria!

The festival brings together a wide array of exhibitors, offering tastings of teran wines, truffles, and gourmet creations inspired by both. The Motovun festival is known as a meeting point for top-tier winemakers and producers of truffle-based products, as well as companies specializing in truffle sourcing. Expect mouthwatering dishes crafted from these enogastronomic gems — and of course, great music to complete the experience.

When autumn tones dominate Istria, its landscapes are covered in hundreds of shades of yellow, orange and red. From the top of the hill, Motovun, a medieval town with a view of the Motovun Forest, the Mirna River and its stunning valley, is majestically watching this autumnal colorfulness. In October, when these two delicacies reach their highest power, the Teran Wine and Truffle Festival is held in it, which combines teran wine, the best examples of which come from the Motovun area, with the truffle - an Istrian underground treasure from the Motovun forest, without which today's gourmet kitchen would be unimaginable.
