Kick off your day with a scenic drive to 13th-century Trakošćan Castle, a storybook fortress perched above a mirror-still lake and wrapped in romantic parkland. Inside, Neo-Gothic halls reveal original furniture, weapons, and portraits collected by the influential Drašković family, who shaped the estate for centuries. As your guide recounts tales of knights, counts, and royal intrigue, you’ll capture postcard-worthy views from the ramparts.
Soon after, meander along country lanes into vine-covered hills where a welcoming family cellar opens its doors. Here, traditional methods mingle with modern flair to produce crisp whites, velvety reds, and lively sparkling wines, each poured alongside artisan cheeses for a perfect pairing.
Finally, settle into a cosy rural tavern to savour a farm-to-table lunch celebrating Zagorje’s hearty cuisine. The comfortable ride back to Zagreb provides time to replay turret-topped vistas and lingering notes of wine, leaving you with a unforgettable blend of Croatian history, culture, and gastronomy.
