Zagreb Wine Tour – Visit Plešivica - Croatia's Champagne

A full day tour to countryside

Escape the City & Indulge in a Wine Lover’s Paradise

Step away from the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse yourself in the rolling vineyards of Plešivica, Croatia’s very own “Champagne” region, just a short drive from Zagreb. 

This exclusive wine tour takes you to a renowned family-run winery, where you’ll enjoy a guided tasting of approximately six exquisite wines. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir (“Pinot Crni” in Croatian) thrive here, used for both still and sparkling wines. You’ll also discover unique varietals such as Muškat Žuti (Yellow Muscat), Plavec Žuti, Portugizec (Blauer Portugieser), Rizling (Riesling), Rizvanac (Müller-Thurgau), Sauvignon Blanc, and Syrah. 

Despite its small size, Plešivica is one of Croatia’s most dynamic and experimental wine regions. Here, you’ll experience a fascinating array of winemaking styles—from amphora-aged and orange wines to méthode traditionnelle sparkling wines aged for four years on the lees, and Pinot Noir that rivals the quality of California’s Santa Maria Valley. 

Before heading to the winery, you’ll stop in the charming town of Samobor, known for its rich heritage and delicious local treats. No visit is complete without indulging in *Samoborska kremšnita*, a heavenly vanilla custard slice beloved by locals. 

After this sweet delight, your wine-tasting experience awaits—relax, sip, and savor the best of Plešivica in a stunning countryside setting.

    We just returned from an incredible… We just returned from an incredible sailing trip organised by T&T Travel. Everything was so well organised and so easy and we absolutely loved the boat and captain. Tihana’s help was hugely appreciated when our boat didn’t arrive at the last minute and she found us another, better boat, in time for us to depart as planned. It was an amazing week! Thank you so much.

    Perfect Summer Vacation! Chartered a catamaran in Croatia for 1 week this summer with T & T Travel Boutique and we could not have been happier. The service that they provide is second to none. Communication with T & T is professional and prompt. You can tell they are passionate about Croatia and want to ensure each and every guest has an unforgettable time in their beautiful country. We traveled as two couples and enjoyed the scenery and privacy that renting a boat provided. Frane our skipper was arranged through Tihana at T & T and he was wonderful! We were taken to the best breaches, anchored at the most beautiful coves, and dined on delicious local food in restaurants every night. Looking forward to booking our next trip with T&T.

    T&T travel boutique (Tihana) has organized a sailing boat trip for me and my five friends last June. The boat was great, skipper she found was the best we ever had (we sailed quite a few times in the past) and the itinerary she put together was excellent. Tihana was extremely helpful all the way through and we had an awesome trip! Needless to say, we shall go again with her agency!
