When you think of Croatia, you might think of the Game of Thrones or some beautiful national parks but do you think of Croatia for wine?

Neither did we until we started sending some of our clients to Croatia and we were able to include some fun culinary and wine experiences.
There are 2 primary wine regions in Croatia- Primorska Hrvatska (coastal) and Kontinentalna Hrvatksa (continental). These 2 regions are then divided into a total of 12 sub regions which then further divide into the equivalent of wine hills. These areas spread from the shores of the Dalmatian Coast to the floodplains of the Danube.
Here are the 5 best places to visit for Croatian Wine:
Central and South Dalmatia– the birth place of modern Zinfandel
North Dalmatia– famous for the Babic Grape that is native to Croatia and produces an inky red wine
Istria– known for moscato, trebbiano and verduzzo
Slavonia– this northeastern region is bordered by 3 large rivers and is famous for the Grasevina grape, which produces a dry, fresh and lightly aromatic white wine
Plesivica– just west of Zagreb, a local wine maker has been producing riesling, chardonnay and native wines for over 200 years.
