An Adriatic Feast
Our Croatian Food & Wine Tours
With crystalline blue waters and over a thousand islands, Croatia’s Adriatic coastline offers a gorgeous setting for exploring Croatia’s surprising wines and delicious food. In cooler Istria, winemakers traditionally vinify with skin contact using the indigenous grape Malvazija Istarska, aged in acacia wood barrels, producing distinctive whites to pair with another of Istria’s culinary treasures–truffles! Traveling south through the Dalmatian Coast and the Pelješac Peninsula, red wines predominate, influenced by stony soils, sea breezes, and warmer temperatures. Plavac Mali is the most-planted red grape along Croatia’s coast, but the discovery that local varietal Crljenak Kaštelanski is genetically identical to Zinfandel and Primitivo has increased cultivation of this robust grape.
Istria
In Croatia’s cooler north, the Istrian Peninsula is a foodie paradise–black and white truffles, excellent extra virgin olive oil, and fresh seafood complement its indigenous Malvasia.
The Dalmatian Coast
Centered around historical Split, the gateway to the islands of Šolta, Brač, Hvar, Korčula, and Vis, Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast is perfect for foodies to island-hop and explore boutique wineries.
Pelješac Peninsula
Just north of Dubrovnik, the Pelješac Peninsula boasts stunning terraced seaside vineyards and produces some of Croatia’s best wines. The oyster beds in Mali Ston are a must for seafood lovers.
Perfect Pairings
Chewy northern white wines pair beautifully with Istrian truffles. Crisp, acidic whites are the perfect accompaniment to fresh Mali Ston oysters. Robust reds enhance the slow-cooked lamb in a peka.
