Croatia is a paradise for lovers of outstanding food and wine. My goal is to guide you through an exploration of treasured Croatian vineyards, deeply rooted in long-lasting family traditions of crafting high-quality, organic offerings.
We begin our journey in a quaint village near Skradin. Here lies a modest winery, elapsing five centuries in its wine-making legacy. You will meet a vintner, the 9th in his familial lineage, and have the opportunity to savor three distinct wines rooted in indigenous grape varieties. Also included in this sensory experience are his homemade delights such as prosciutto, an assortment of cheeses, and olive oil.
Next, we journey to Kaštela, a town close to Split, recognized as the original home of iconic Zinfandel vineyards.
