The Gourmet & Wine Lovers application introduces the Istrian gourmet offer to its users in a simple way. It is intended for all enogastronomic fans: journalists, opinion makers, enogastronomic experts, future guests. The application will be used as a platform for introducing attractive content including best restaurants and taverns in the region, superb wine and olive oil producers, olive tree growers and wine bars, truffle hunters, cheese as well as prosciutto and honey producers, best regional hotels and other interesting events. As we have divided Istria in six smaller areas (clusters), one or several itineraries have been developed for each cluster connecting its most important Gourmet & Wine venues. Paths have been named depending on the microarea and its gourmet specificity such as the Itinerary of the Novigrad Oyster or Four Soils for Four Experiences, the Momjan Musketeers' Muscat, Veli Jože and Teran, Rovinj Blue, Divine Tastes of South Istria and alike. The purpose behind the idea was to develop a tool for promoting Istria and its microdestinations. It will be used as a tool for developing special interest packages (TO, agencies) to be used as a finished product. It will also be interesting for restaurants as it includes a separate chapter on wine lists i.e. wines produced by wine producers included in the application. Thus, a certain wine, a wine producer or a wine cellar will be more easily presented to a guest visiting a hospitality establishment. The same applies to olive oils, including not only an olive oil producer profile but also a separate paragraph containing a detailed 'identity card' of olive oil presented in the world extra virgin olive oil guide Flos Olei. It is interesting to mention that the application offers a direct link to the Istria Tourist Board web site for automatic access to the gastronomic events calendar which will facilitate users ability to be informed on daily regional and gourmet events at any time.

Aplikacija Gourmet & Wine Lovers na jednostavan način približava korisnicima vrhunsku istarsku gourmet ponudu. Posvećena je svim ljubiteljima enogastronomije: od novinara, opinion-lidera, specijalista s područja enogastronomije do budućih gostiju. Kroz aplikaciju će biti predstavljeni atraktivni sadržaji, odnosno najbolji restorani i konobe regije, najkvalitetniji vinari, maslinari, uljari i vinski barovi, zatim tartufari, sirari, pršutari, medari, najbolji hoteli u regiji i ostale zanimljivosti. Tako je Istra podijeljena u šest manjih područja (klastera), a u svakom klasteru kreiran je po jedan ili više itinerara koji povezuju najznačajnija Gourmet & Wine mjesta u tom klasteru. Putevima su dodijeljena posebna imena, ovisno u mikropodručju te njihovoj gourmet specifičnosti, kao npr. itinerar novigradske kapešante ili Četiri zemlje za četiri doživljaja, Muškat momjanskih mušketira, Veli Jože i teran, Rovinjsko plavetnilo, Božanski okusi južne Istre i sl. Ideja je nastala s ciljem kreiranja alata za promociju Istre i njenih mikrodestinacija, a služit će i kao alat za kreiranje paketa posebnih interesa (TO, agencije) koje će imati na raspolaganju gotov proizvod. Njome će se moći služiti i restorani jer je posebno poglavlje posvećeno vinskoj karti, odnosno vinima uvrštenih vinara. Na taj način će gostu koji posjeti ugostiteljski objekt biti lakše predstavljeno određeno vino, sam vinar i podrum u kojem je vino nastalo. Isto vrijedi i za maslinova ulja jer je pored profila maslinara uveden i poseban odjeljak s detaljnom „osobnom iskaznicom“ maslinova ulja koje je prethodno uvršteno u svjetski vodič za ekstra djevičanska maslinova ulja Flos olei. Zanimljivost je i ta da je aplikacija izravno povezana sa službenim portalom Turističke zajednice Istarske županije s kojeg se automatski preuzima kalendar gastronomskih događanja, tako da će korisnici u bilo koje vrijeme moći biti informirani o tome što se događa u regiji te o gourmet događanjima toga dana.
