The Weekend Bike & Gourmet Tour returns to Rovinj on October 3–4, 2026, inviting recreational cyclists to explore the rolling hills and quiet back roads of central Istria. Whether you ride an MTB, trekking bike, or e-bike, professional guides will lead you through a route connecting Rovinj, Bale, Svetvinčenat, and Kanfanar — four towns that together tell the story of Istria's rich heritage.

This is not a race. The pace is relaxed, the scenery is spectacular, and the real highlight is what happens off the bike. Expect stops at family-run konobas for tastings of local Istrian specialities: hand-rolled fuži pasta, truffles, award-winning olive oils, and Malvazija wines poured straight from the barrel. Along the way, guides point out hidden natural attractions and aromatic herb fields that scent the autumn air.

The event is jointly organised by the Rovinj Tourism Board, the Rovinj Craftsmen's Association, and Maistra. It's a perfect weekend escape for anyone who loves cycling, good food, and the kind of landscapes that make Istria one of Europe's most underrated destinations.
