Food and Wine tasting experience in Trieste traditional farmhouse Osmiza

About this tour

Visit a working farmhouse in the Trieste region where locals have sold their own wine and food since 1784. This three-hour experience takes you inside an osmiza—a centuries-old tradition where producers sell directly from their cellars. You'll taste regional wines like Terrano and Vitovska alongside cured meats, cheeses, and eggs made on-site, guided by someone who knows the producers and their stories.

Highlights

• Taste Terrano, Vitovska, and Malvasia wines straight from the cellar
• Sample house-made salamis, sausages, and aged cheeses
• Learn how the 1784 osmiza tradition still operates today
• Meet producers in their working farmhouse setting
• Pick-up and drop-off included from your accommodation

What to expect

You'll arrive at an authentic farmhouse where production happens around you. The owner or guide walks you through their wine-making and curing processes, then settles you at a rustic table with glasses and small plates. Wines arrive first, one at a time, paired with whatever meats and cheeses they've prepared that day. Conversations happen naturally—ask about ageing times, grape varieties, or why their sausage tastes different from the last osmiza. The atmosphere is casual, the portions modest, and you're eating what locals eat when they stop by.
