Ime Višnjan vjerojatno potječe od latinske riječi Vicinianus što znači u blizini jer je Višnjan u prošlosti bio najbliži posjed Poreča u Istri. Najstariji pisani dokument u kojem mu se spominje ime je akt po kojemu su se određivale granice posjeda Sv. Maura iz 1003.g.Na području okolnog sela Strpačići udaljenog 1 km od Višnjana, pronađene su bakrene naušnice i igle iz brončanog doba. Ostaci iz tog razdoblja postoje na brežuljku Montemez u blizini Višnjana, a ime na keltskom znači lijepa uzvisina. Zapadno od Višnjana nalazilo se u antici i srednjem vijeku poznato naselje Dilian sa samostanom i crkvom sv. Mihovila iz 11. st. Radi značaja lokaliteta započela su istraživanja na međunarodnom nivou.Stanovnici Višnjana poznati su kao vrlo marljivi ljudi koji su do danas uspjeli sačuvati svoju autohtonost i stoga mogu ponuditi bogatu paletu tradicionalnih istarskih jela, kvalitetna vina renomiranih proizvođača, maslinovo ulje i mnoge druge tradicionalne i ekološke proizvode. Na odlasku ne zaboravite ponijeti jedinstven, originalni i ručno rađen suvenir lokalnih obrtnika kako biste se uvijek mogli prisjetiti svih lijepih trenutaka koje ste cijenili u Višnjanu.

At this place we tasted a wide range of traditional Istrian dishes that were made out of love. Of interest was the quality wines from renowned producers, they were tasty, delicious and of a wide selection. We took some olive oil back home.
