The story
Located within the Hotel Monte Mulini in Rovinj, Wine Vault Restaurant offers a dining experience that shifts its character from day to night. The restaurant describes its offer as playful and interactive, built around sharing dishes crafted with top-quality local ingredients and Mediterranean flavors.
By day, the atmosphere is relaxed. Guests can enjoy light bistro-style dishes on the sunny terrace or by the pool—from cold starters and pizzette to pasta and fresh fish. As evening falls, the tone becomes more intimate. The Mediterranean tradition unfolds through an elegant multi-course dinner, designed to be paired with premium wines or cocktails. The ambience blends modern sophistication with timeless coastal charm.
The restaurant’s name is a direct reflection of its focus: the wine list is extensive and carefully curated. It features a wide selection of Champagnes, sparkling wines, and still wines by the glass and bottle, with a strong emphasis on Croatian producers from Istria, Kvarner, and the Uplands, alongside selections from Italy, Slovenia, France, and Spain. This makes it a destination for anyone serious about wine.
This commitment to quality and a refined, ingredient-driven approach to contemporary cuisine earned Wine Vault Restaurant a Michelin Recommended distinction. It is a place where the setting and the food work in harmony, offering both a casual daytime bite and a more formal evening experience without pretense.
