Fodor's Expert Review Kabola Winery
Near the small medieval hill town of Momjan, the Kabola Winery is a must-visit for wine and olive-oil aficionados. This boutique winery offers tours of its wine cellar and small wine museum, as well as full tastings in its picturesque, traditional Istrian farmhouse. Vintners since 1891, the Markezic family produces only organic wines and extra virgin olive oil. Their wines are wonderful, with their Malvazija Unica, Teran, and Dolce some of the more popular. Their olive oil is a blend of three kinds of olives: indigenous Istarska Bjelica mixed with Leccino and Pendolino. Fresh, well-rounded, and balanced, it marries perfectly with seafood, cheese, and salads. Call in advance to arrange a visit.
