Around 5,000 vines in the vineyards of Vina Siljan anchor winegrowing directly in Šegotići. There are also cycling routes that pass through the village or Duga Uvala, a separate part of Šegotići. This lets you choose different focuses for your trip, from a winery to a longer cycling route and trails by the water.
Wine from Šegotići
The Vina Siljan vineyards in Šegotići comprise around 5,000 vines. The Siljan family winery offers tastings of typical Istrian wines. Route 354 The East Story reaches Šegotići. If you are planning a tasting, arrange the specific details directly with the winery before your visit. Vina Siljan’s white wines include Malvazija Classic, Muškat Žuti and Malvazija Selection; the wine selection may change.
Cycling routes of different lengths
The official cycling route 354 The East Story runs from Medulin to Vodnjan, is 60 kilometres long and is rated as moderate. It reaches Šegotići. Check the current route information before setting out. A nearby trail option is the 3.3-kilometre Stjepan Hauser Trail between Kalavojna Bay and Cape St. Mikula; along the way, it offers views of Istrian bays. The routes differ considerably in length and are also different types of trails. Conditions on the trail may vary depending on the season.
Cycling route 343 Proština enters Duga Uvala and runs along the waterfront promenade, continuing towards the beaches of Cava Bay. This complements the longer Route 354 with a different focus: a route along the coast. For planning purposes, these two cycling routes can be distinguished by their described routes and surroundings, without assuming they form a single tour.
Duga Uvala and Mutvoran
Duga Uvala is also home to Punta Beach, which the Marčana Tourist Board lists as a dog-friendly beach. This designation may be helpful when choosing a beach destination with a dog. Check visitor information before your visit if this classification is important to your plans.
For a glimpse of traces of the past in the area, Mutvoran is a place to visit in its own right: remains of prehistoric hillforts and medieval walls have been preserved there. The main altar of the Church of St. Mary Magdalene was created in 1533. The information about the fortification remains and the church altar offers different ways to explore the history of the place, without implying a prescribed walking route.
Općina Marčana as the wider setting
