ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE

The reason most tables in Istria exist: a Motovun konoba lunch. The town’s restaurants cook the Mirna valley’s own pantry — handmade fuži pasta under fresh truffle, local pršut, sheep’s cheese in olive oil, greens from the gardens — and pour the white Malvazija the vineyards around the hill produce.

WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE

What you’ll experience

A slow, several-course meal at a terrace table over the valley. The truffle appears shaved generously at the table; the bread is for the plate afterwards. Prices reflect the ingredient — check the truffle weight when the fresh white season runs.
