We booked the half-day wine tour visiting Benvenuti in Kaldir and Matosević in Krunčići. Our guide Agnieszka picked us up in Rovinj at 9:30 and we spent the entire day together. She was very helpful and informative, sending information in advance over email and had great knowledge about the wines and vineyard culture once we arrived at each winemaker. It was great to spend the day with a local who was so passionate about wine and could suggest other wineries to go to on our own after the tour. The tour itself was very comprehensive and we enjoyed visiting 2 boutique family-run wineries. Each winery had multiple glasses of wine along with small snacks of cheese, meat, and olive oil. In between each visit we also stopped at scenic view points to take pictures of towns such as Motovun and Pazin. Agnieszka was helpful throughout the day answering questions. Even after our tour we kept in touch and she went above and beyond by helping us to figure out how to bring a few bottles of wine back home with us. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who is interested in wine and seeing the surrounding areas of Istria.

We rode through some spectacular scenery, The electric bikes were great, and had very good batteries. However, I would not recommend Fiore for several reasons, mainly safety. 1. Far too much of their trail is on busy main roads, and their notes and maps need to be updated. a. Riding into Pula could have been along a coastal cycle/walkway, which would have been much safer. b. Their instructions aren't correct. 2. They do not give any information about major roadworks, nor road-closures because of a major Slovinian Ironman competition which forced us off cycle trails and onto major highways. 3. The bike tires do not have enough grip for the dangerously slippery Croatian roads when it's wet or rough. 4. Their helmets are old and do not meet safely standards. I crashed off, and had to go to hospital for facial xrays yet they didn't replace my helmet, nor were they interested when I stated they should throw it out as it would be compromised because of the crash. 5. They should fit helmets the night before cycling starts to ensure riders all have proper fitting helmets. One of our team had to wait 3 days before they gave her an adjustable proper fitting helmet. They should also give out instructions and maps the night before to give cyclists a chance to read instructions.before starting out. 6 The company should have their bikes insured as part of their hire agreement. The staff were friendly and office staff were quick to communicate, however the company should arrange to meet clients at the end of the tour, instead of just arranging for gear to be left at the last hotel.
