Motovun Teran Tartufi
A festival dedicated to teran and truffle
A one day gastronomic event dedicated to teran and truffle is held mid-October in medieval Motovun. It is an ideal place to have a view at the Motovun forest where truffles grow.

Teran fits perfectly into the peninsula’s autumn shades with its ruby red colour. This is a strong flavoured wine which is best paired with prosciutto, cheese as well as meat and game dishes. Another festival star is the truffle, the underground Istrian treasure without which the modern gourmand cuisine would be unimaginable. Cheers and bon apetit!
