2 Best Performing Arts in Istria, Croatia

In May each year, at least 80 different Istrian winemakers exhibit their wines at Vinistra, a wine fair produced by the Association of Wine Growers and Winemakers of Istria. Local gourmet food producers, farmers, and restaurants also provide tastings cleverly paired with a variety of wines on offer. During this three-day festival, viticulture classes, seminars, presentations, and award ceremonies fill the schedule between sips. 

Dating back to 1954, this annual film festival is the oldest Croatian film festival and occurs in mid-July, before the more well-known Motovun International Film Festival. Screenings occur in the Arena and feature Croatian and international works.
