By now, you have probably heard about the benefits of drinking wine. An occasional glass of wine may prevent cellular damage due to antioxidants, reduce inflammation and rates of heart disease, and even positively affect mental health. So, it is no wonder that wine tasting has become increasingly popular.
Wine tasting is best done in wineries, where you get the most authentic wine-tasting experience. If you want to take in the Croatian wine-tasting culture, one of the best ways to do so is by visiting ROSSI Winery & Distillery in Istria.
We invite you to continue reading to learn more about wine tasting at ROSSI’s, a family-owned winery with a long winemaking tradition.
From a Small Family to a Wine Giant
Winemaking became the main business of the Rossi family in the 1980s. First, they mostly shipped to Slovenia until their business reached a bigger audience recognizing their wine quality. Then, the family invested in new technologies, branding, and expansion to make spirits, which allowed them to position ROSSI Winery & Distillery at the top of the premium domestic and foreign market.
An in-person visit to the winery is very informative and – yummy. Not only will you be able to taste different wine and spirit varieties, but you will also get information on the winemaking process. In addition, you may learn about new wines that you might not have heard of before.

Different Types of ROSSI’s Wine Tasting for Your Exact Taste
Winery ROSSI offers three types of wine-tasting experiences, each tailored to the specific interests of wine lovers.
ROSSI Traditional Wine Tasting – The first wine-tasting option introduces you to the traditional values of the winery. You will be given a private short indoor and outdoor tour of the ROSSI winery, after which you will be invited to taste five ROSSI wines from the controlled origin (DOC) that best represent this historic place. A traditional Istrian cold plate accompanies wine tasting with delicious homemade products. The price of the ROSSI Traditional Wine Tasting Experience is approx. € 33 per person.
ROSSI Innovative Wine and Cocktail Tasting – The second wine-tasting option includes the tour from the first but adds another layer. You will learn about the new tastes introduced by the latest family generation. Alas, the world is changing, and winemaking needs to follow suit. Each guest gets a cold plate, three ROSSI’s DOC wines, and two original ROSSI signature cocktails. The price of the ROSSI Innovative Wine and Cocktail Tasting is approx. € 50 per person.
ROSSI Immersive Wine Tasting – The third, exclusive wine-tasting option goes even more profound by adding intricacies to ROSSI’s award-winning wine production process. True wine lovers will be happy to hear that they are getting ten (!) of ROSSI’s finest DOC wines. To top it all off, you will try Šovran XO, an indigenous Istrian brandy made and aged like the most prestigious French cognacs. The price of the ROSSI Immersive Wine Tasting is approx. € 100 per person.
Take a Bottle of ROSSI Wine with You
