Like something out of a fairytale, Motovun is the sort of town you dream of eloping to. Alleys of stone houses laden with art galleries and cafés are packed either side of robust Venetian walls – you'll love it. And while it's the undoubted star of this half-day tour, you'll also discover the world's smallest town - Hum.
Your first stop of the morning is hilltop Motovun - a medieval monument in itself, perched high above the Mirna River valley, with stop-and-stare views over the vineyards sprawling out below. Protected by impressive medieval walls, it's a living monument where every corner reveals centuries of history and breathtaking panoramic views. Walk around the old town, soaking up an atmosphere that's both bohemian and old-world at the same time as you wander its stone-paved streets.
Next, you'll continue towards our next stop, Hum, officially the smallest town in the world. Here, you'll delve into the town's history at the Museum of Hum Aura, housed within a historic building that served as a granary and town hall for centuries. Your trip culminates with an immersive visit and tasting experience at the renowned Aura family distillery shop. Sample premium brandies and liqueurs, homemade jams, Istrian truffle products, and exquisite olive oil with truffles – a true taste of the region's rich gastronomy.
