Rainy Day Retreats: Discover Pula’s Art and Culture Indoors
Escape the rain and embrace the art and culture of Pula this weekend. With overcast skies and a high chance of rain, indulge in wine tasting at Trapan Winery and capture the city’s essence on a photography tour.
A Symphony of Senses: Wine and Culinary Delights at Trapan Winery
As the clouds gather over Pula, casting a gentle shadow over the city, the allure of indoor escapes becomes irresistible. Nestled in the heart of Istria, the Trapan Winery offers a sanctuary for those seeking to indulge in the art of winemaking and culinary excellence. The winery, a modernist marvel of concrete and glass, invites you to step into a world where the passion for organic farming and the love for fine wine converge.
Begin your day with a morning session at 11:00 AM, where the air is crisp and the anticipation of tasting exquisite wines is palpable. The tasting room, designed to overlook the barrel room, provides a unique vantage point to witness the aging process of these organic wines. As you sip on the prestigious Trapan wines, each glass tells a story of the Istrian red soil, rich in minerals and limestone, that nurtures the vineyards.
The experience is elevated by the culinary creations of Lorena Božić and Ettore Vignandel, whose dishes are a testament to the region’s gastronomic heritage. As you savor the gourmet snacks paired with the wines, the flavors dance on your palate, creating a symphony of senses. A recent review from August 2024 captures the essence of this experience:
Amazing - Bruno was a great host, spoke very passionately about his work and the wines that he produces. We both had a great time, so much so he has converted me to a wine drinker. Thank you Bruno!
This review, dated August 2, 2024, encapsulates the warmth and authenticity of the Trapan Winery experience.
