Escape Zagreb’s hustle and uncover the serene Plešivica wine region, Croatia’s little Champagne, just 40 km west, where amphitheater-shaped vineyards yield acclaimed sparkling wines from family estates like Tomac and Korak. Here, generations of passionate winemakers craft elegant Chardonnays, aromatic Rieslings, and velvety Pinot Noirs using centuries-old techniques blended with modern innovation. You’ll tour intimate cellars, savor tastings paired with local cheeses, and learn how cool-climate grapes thrive in this historic terroir.
Next, venture to charming Samobor, a Baroque gem with medieval castle ruins and cobblestone squares that whisper tales of the past. Indulge in the town’s iconic kremšnita, a warm, fluffy custard cream cake that’s a must-try delight, best enjoyed in King Tomislav Square.
With comfortable transport, an expert guide, and insider access, this half-day journey blends wine, history, and flavors for an authentic countryside retreat ideal for enthusiasts of all kinds.
