The experience
The tasting happens at Pinčo Wine & Tapas Bar in the heart of Zadar's Old Town. You'll taste five carefully selected Croatian wines: a sparkling, a rosé, two whites, and one red, each paired with bites from a Mediterranean-inspired plate. The tapas vary but typically include Dalmatian prosciutto, marinated olives, anchovies from nearby Ugljan Island, mini stuffed peppers, hard cheese, dried figs, and other seasonal additions. The owner hosts the experience and shares the story behind each wine. The region it comes from, the grape varieties, and what makes Croatian winemaking distinctive.
The tasting runs around 90 minutes, though it often stretches longer as guests linger, ask questions, and settle into conversation. The atmosphere is warm and intimate, designed to feel social rather than formal. Whether you're tasting wine for the first time or you already know your way around a glass, the experience is built to be approachable and fun. Couples, solo travelers, and groups all mix together in the same relaxed setting.
