About
Croatia is a serious wine country with over 130 indigenous grape varieties. Plavac Mali (ancestor of California’s Zinfandel) produces bold, tannic reds on the Dalmatian islands — particularly Hvar and Pelješac peninsula. Malvasia Istriana makes elegant, aromatic whites from Istria. Dingač, from Pelješac, is the most prestigious Croatian red appellation. Wine tastings at local vineyards are a highlight of any trip.
