Bel'Istria provides private chauffeur transfers to Meneghetti Wine Hotel and Winery from all regional airports. Pula in 30 minutes, Trieste in 2 hours, Venice in 3 hours, Ljubljana in 2 hours 30 minutes. Drivers know the estate entrance off the Bale road and can arrange wine tours, estate tastings and day trips to Rovinj, Motovun and Pula throughout the stay.
Arriving at Meneghetti Wine Hotel and Winery
Meneghetti Wine Hotel sits on a working estate of vineyards and olive groves in the Bale hinterland, roughly halfway between Rovinj and Pula. The property is a 13th-century stone estate restored by the Meneghetti family and awarded Relais and Châteaux status. Guests arrive to rows of vines, a stone courtyard, and a restaurant drawing from the estate's own production. The setting is deliberately secluded. That is the point of it.
The estate entrance sits off the regional road between Bale and Rovinj. Navigation apps reach the area correctly but the final approach down the estate lane is not clearly marked from the main road. First-time guests occasionally miss the turn or hesitate at the gate. Bel'Istria drivers know the entrance and the correct approach road to the property. The vehicle arrives at the hotel reception building directly, without guesswork on a road that offers few obvious reference points after dark or on a late flight.
Nearest airport is Pula (PUY). Make the most of wine country with a herbal estate sensory tour or a private tour of Grožnjan.

What Meneghetti Guests Come For
Meneghetti is a wine estate that also happens to be a hotel, not a hotel that happens to serve wine. That distinction shapes what guests experience from the first morning. The vineyards begin at the edge of the guest rooms and the olive groves run to the property boundary. Estate tours and private tastings are available throughout the stay, and the harvest periods in autumn bring guests specifically for picking alongside the estate team.
The Meneghetti restaurant works almost entirely from what the estate produces. The wine list leads with the property's own labels across white, red and rosé. The food follows the agricultural calendar of the estate. For guests whose interest is Istrian gastronomy rather than sightseeing, the property can fill several days without requiring a car.
The pool terrace sits at the edge of the vineyard with unobstructed views across the vines to the surrounding hills. It is one of the better-located swimming pools in Istria. The spa occupies a restored stone building on the property.
Day Trips Bel'Istria Can Arrange From Meneghetti
Meneghetti's position between Rovinj and Pula makes it a practical base for the southern Istrian peninsula. Rovinj is twenty minutes north, close enough for an evening in the old town and dinner at Monte without staying there. Pula Arena is thirty minutes south, a Roman amphitheatre seating 23,000 that still stages summer concerts. The Lim Fjord, an inland sea channel with oyster farms at its mouth, is twenty-five minutes by road.
Motovun, the hilltop truffle town in the Mirna valley, is forty minutes inland. The Saturday morning market draws producers from across the interior and Bel'Istria can time the departure to arrive before the crowd thins. Grožnjan, the artists' village near the Slovenian border, is thirty-five minutes northwest. For guests with an interest in other wine estates, Kabola winery in Momjan and Franc Arman in Višnjan are both within forty-five minutes. None of these require planning further in advance than the evening before.

Venice Marco Polo serves long-haul arrivals from outside Europe and takes approximately three hours.
Where does Bel'Istria drop guests at Meneghetti Wine Hotel?
At the estate reception building, via the estate entrance off the Bale to Rovinj road. The final approach down the estate lane is not clearly signposted from the main road. Bel'Istria drivers know the entrance and the correct approach road to the property.
Can Bel'Istria arrange wine tours or day trips from Meneghetti during the stay?

Is Meneghetti easy to reach without a driver?
The estate is reachable by hire car, but the location rewards having a driver. The property sits on a rural road between Bale and Rovinj and the estate entrance is easy to miss on arrival, particularly after a long flight or in the dark. For guests planning day trips to Rovinj, Pula or truffle country during the stay, Bel'Istria removes the navigation and parking at each destination.
