PROGRAM: The southern part of the Istrian peninsula along with Pula houses numerous classical monuments and archeological sites dating from the Roman period. This tour offers visiting the old city center and the Amphitheater. It is well known that the Romans often had lavish banquets and the ostrich meat was highly appreciated at those banquets. It is interesting to note that the ostrich was brought from Africa, and the Egyptians and the Romans used these strong birds for pulling their triumphal carriages. Ostrich feather is a symbol of strength, virility, but also sensuality, and is often used as a motif in heraldry. The most famous is Prince of Gales’ coat of arms, starting from Edward III onwards. In order to get familiarized with modern ostrich farming, we suggest visiting the ostrich farm near Pula. Our next stop will be the wine cellar ‘Demijan’, where supreme wines, as well as from ostrich meat delicacies will be offered for sampling. Wines ‘Demijan’ have won prestigious awards at local wine contests, and, gastronomes say, blend in perfectly with the ostrich meat.
