The experience

The tour leaves your Zagreb hotel and heads to Samobor, a medieval town 30 minutes away, where you'll walk through forested hills and charming streets known for Cremeschnitte cake, Mustarda, Bermet liquor, and crystal crafts. After exploring the town's architecture and sampling local specialties, the route moves to Plesivica wine road: a region of green hills, valleys and small family wineries where sparkling wines are the draw.

Wine tastings and food samples happen throughout the day at stops along Plesivica, where the guide explains the local varieties and production methods. Coffee and tea are included, and the pace is set by the group rather than a rigid schedule. The full day runs eight hours from pickup to drop-off, with the professional guide handling all logistics and driving.

Plesivica is known for sparkling wines and local varieties. The region's green hills and valleys are wrapped in vineyards, and tastings focus on what the small family wineries make there rather than imported styles.
