Trieste’s Essence: Wine and Olive Oil Tasting

1 hour

A journey through the flavors of Trieste: wine, olive oil and local traditions.

Description

Trieste is not only a gateway between Italy and Central Europe, but also a city where food and wine reflect centuries of cultural exchange. Just a short step away from the sea rise the rocky slopes of the Carso-Kras plateau, a land shaped by strong winds, red earth, and stone walls. From this harsh yet generous environment come wines and olive oils with a distinct personality: bold reds like Terrano, elegant whites such as Vitovska and Malvasia, and extra virgin olive oils that capture the essence of the Mediterranean in every drop.

 

This guided tasting invites you to discover the flavors that define Trieste. In a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, local experts will lead you through a sensory journey that highlights the connection between the land, its producers, and their traditions. Each glass of wine tells the story of small family wineries, each olive oil reveals the microclimates of the Karst, and every bite of artisan cheese or cured meat adds depth to the experience.

 

More than just a tasting, this is an opportunity to slow down and savor the Triestine way of life: convivial, authentic, and rooted in simple pleasures. Whether you are a wine enthusiast or simply curious about local gastronomy, this experience offers the perfect introduction to the flavors of the Carso and the soul of Trieste.

Pick the option that suits you best and enjoy Trieste's flavors and traditions.
