A pistachio exhibition. A herring market. The happy blend of wine and hiking. This list proves that foodies, too, can celebrate Autumnal travel.
Foodies take note: Thinner crowds and richly colored foliage aren’t the only benefits of shoulder season on the continent.

Harvest season in Istria, the Rhode Island-sized, cornucopia-shaped peninsula hanging in the northern Adriatic between Croatia and Slovenia, can be an almost religious experience. Festivals held nearly every weekend from late August to December are dedicated to the region’s delicacies: olive oil, cheese, prosciutto, seafood and wine.
