Wine & Walk by the Sea

Wine & Walk by the Sea will take place on 26 September 2026 in Novigrad – Cittanova as an eno-gastro and outdoor event combining a relaxed recreational walk with top wines from north-western Istria and authentic local gastronomy, set against the backdrop of Novigrad’s seafront and historic old town.

Over the years, the event has established itself as one of the city’s recognisable eno-gastronomic experiences, regularly attracting strong interest from participants and the active involvement of local winemakers and restaurants.
