Whether you’re sipping Istrian wines with a local, going canyoneering and white water rafting, or relaxing on a yacht while island hopping the Dalmatians you’ll certainly learn all about the Croatian phrase, Polako – meaning – slow down and enjoy life. 

Our guest today is Alberto Dittadi, an expert in the region and definitely someone you’d like to slow down and enjoy some Balkan wine with.
