Occupying the extensive cellars of the elegant 1907-built Narodni Dom (People's House), this Aladdin's cave is filled with glistening bottles, hip flasks and jars of the rakije (grappas), liqueurs and jams that are made in the shiny vats on-site. It's a great place to stock up on biska, Istria's traditional mistletoe grappa. Tastings and tours are also available.
