A Taste of Trieste

by bus & on foot

This experience combines a sightseeing tour of Trieste with a tasting of the olive oil and wine produced in the area.

Departing from the port, your guide will lead you on a walk into the heart of Trieste, through the traditional cobbled, café-lined squares that this part of Italy does best. Here you will get an insight into the local life and see the city’s piazzas and cathedrals.

Following your guided walk, you will join your bus for a drive through the Carso (or Karst) district. This region of picturesque highlands extends across into the border of Slovenia and is separated from the sea by huge white cliffs. Thanks to its position on the globe, the area has a microclimate that lets plant and animal life thrive, creating a lovely contrast to the ruggedness of its coastline.

You will visit a nearby winery that uses locally sourced produce to bottle their own wines and olive oils, which you'll get to sample alongside some tasty bread and cheese.

Following this relaxing visit, you will rejoin your bus for the approximately 30-minute drive back to the pier.
