Explore the surroundings by bike; the paths through the red soil fields (Terra Rossa) are particularly scenic.
Visit a local winery in the Brtonigla area for an authentic Malvazija tasting session.
Take advantage of the proximity to Karigador Bay for a refreshing early morning swim before the crowds arrive.
Watch how the color of the earth turns into a deep dark red after the rain.
Taste the local olive oil, which develops a unique character thanks to the mineral-rich red soil.

Fiorini is a pleasant settlement in the municipality of Brtonigla in northwestern Istria. The village is located only a few kilometers from the Adriatic coast and is a first-rate example of 'Green Istria', which stretches immediately behind the 'Blue Istria' of the coast. The region is famous for its fertile red soil (Terra Rossa), providing well-suited conditions for wine and olive cultivation. Visitors appreciate Fiorini for its relaxed atmosphere and proximity to attractions like the Istralandia water park or the appealing coastal towns of Novigrad and Umag. The Brtonigla area is known as the place of 'four soils', as four different soil types meet here, reflected in the variety of local wines. Cyclists will find a dense network of marked trails leading through a pretty landscape. In Fiorini, you can find first-class agritourism farms offering homemade specialties, truffle dishes, and the famous Malvazija and Teran wines. It is a good place for families and travelers seeking the peace of rural Istria but wanting to be at the beach within minutes. The blend of Mediterranean climate and Istrian tradition makes Fiorini a special experience.
