Zagreb’s Version of a “Champaign region”
Plešivica is considered one of the most fascinating continental regions of Croatia and it is renowned for producing some of Croatia’s finest sparkling, orange (amber), and amphorae-aged wines. Just a 45-minute drive from Zagreb, Plešivica is a great destination throughout the year thanks to its pleasant climate. Offering tours of wine cellars and its wines, Plešivica grows both in number and its offer each year, leaving visitors satisfied and eager to return.
Plešivica Wine Road is adorned by beautiful landscape, cultural and historic sites, tradition and friendly hosts. Enjoy the view of slopes covered in vineyards while driving on bicycles or trekking, with stops for wine tasting in local wineries.
Did you know that calcareous soil in the region is similar to that in Champagne and favours sparkling wine production, which has, over the years, become the forte of the Plešivica wine region? Just another reason for you to try the wines in person.?
