Morning light slices across rolling vines as you drive out of Rovinj and the Adriatic slackens behind you. The lane narrows, cypresses and low stone walls flanking your approach, and the Collis property unfolds: sun-warmed terraces, a compact cellar, and the hush of farmland. This is a tasting built around place, where the air itself seems to carry brine and limestone.

Morning light slices across rolling vines as you drive out of Rovinj and the Adriatic slackens behind you. The lane narrows, cypresses and low stone walls flanking your approach, and the Collis property unfolds: sun-warmed terraces, a compact cellar, and the hush of farmland. This is a tasting built around place, where the air itself seems to carry brine and limestone.
Istria’s coastline is young Mediterranean—karst limestone carved by sea and wind, soils that stress the vine into producing concentrated fruit. Stancija Collis sits within that geological frame; its wines express gravelly minerality and bright coastal acidity. The estate pairs sensory instruction with local culture—olive oil pressed by nearby growers, finger foods from family farms, and even a traditional donkey-milk tasting that echoes rural life here.
The guided tour includes a walk through terraced parcels and a cellar visit, followed by a deluxe tasting of COLLIS wines and olive oil over artisanal bites. Expect approachable explanations about varietals common to Istria, like Malvazija and Teran, and practical tasting cues to help you compare terroirs.
Practical side: this private, three-hour tour includes transport from Rovinj and is suitable for most fitness levels—short walks over uneven yard surfaces, minimal elevation change. Bring sun protection, sensible shoes for gravel, and your questions; tastings are deliberate but unhurried. If you want quieter photos, schedule morning slots; for golden light on the vines, late afternoon is best.
Whether you come for the wine, the view, or the rural craft, Stancija Collis offers a concise, grounded introduction to Istrian viticulture and the foodways that shape it.
