A lovely surprise on our @gocollette tour - the wines of Croatia’s Istria region. At @roxanich_winery and design hotel in Motovun we celebrated #WineWednesday. Loved innovative wines like the orange-hued one in the first pic, artistic labels, and modern winery vibe. #ifwtwa #catherinexcollette #gocollette #winetasting #winery #croatianwine #motovun #drinkwine #balkanstour #ifwtwa #travelblogger #travelforwine #lovetotravel (at Montona (Istria)) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjn_VYRr-q8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

50 shades of green — that’s how our amazing guide Sonja Lela said about the colors of Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia. What an amazing place for a hike in the crisp, fresh air and drink in nature’s beauty at this UNESCO site, the largest and oldest park in Croatia. Another great day on our @gocollette “Taste of the Balkans” tour. #gocollette #catherinexcollette #croatiatravel #plitvicelakes #nature #nationalpark #walkinthepark #travelblogger #beautifuldestinations #traveltoeurope #lovetotravel #balkans (at Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjjD3d9Kzp6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sarajevo, Bosnia. A pretty scene in a city of deep history and cultural diversity that has strongly emerged from the destruction of war in the 1990s. We visited the old town, a mosque and a church, the war’s “Tunnel of Hope”, enjoyed more hearty Bosnian dishes, and more. Stay tuned as we travel in the Balkans with @gocollette #gocollette #catherinexcollette **************************** #sarajevo #bosnia #sarajevocity #cityscene #travelgram #traveltheglobe #travelblogger #colletteexplorations #citiesoftheworld https://www.instagram.com/p/CjcbiJTKGd1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
