Roundabout Recipe | Croatian Istria for Foodies

Some trips are measured in miles.
This one? In truffles, altitude, and wine pairings.

Welcome to Istria, the heart-shaped peninsula of Croatia, where the food is seasonal, the land is generous, and the best way to travel between wineries is…

...by helicopter.


This isn’t a tour. It’s a tasting menu. Served across vineyards, sea, and the sky.

So, what does a Roundabout foodie journey through Istria taste like?

It’s ⅓ muddy boots and truffle dogs.
A truffle dog does the sniffing, your guide does the picking, and you? You’ll be stirring a pan of something Nona would call just right.

It’s a ⅓ lift-off between vineyards.
Why drive when you can fly? We'll take you from one boutique winery to the next by private helicopter, soaking in Istria's patchwork of olive groves and medieval hill towns from above.

And it’s ⅓ vineyard picnic.
Alfresco, abundant, and unbothered by time. Local cheeses, crusty bread, and crisp white wine under the sun, surrounded by vines older than your grandfather’s passport.

We call this the Istrian Recipe for Foodies.
You’ll call it your favorite meal you've never cooked before.

Because this is what Roundabout does best: turning landscapes into dining rooms, and journeys into flavor stories.
