Croatia

Located in south-eastern Europe, in the north-western part of the Balkans peninsula, Croatia is a beautiful destination which has so much to offer. Despite being a young country – the independence was declared in 1991 – Croatia has a long and rich history with a wide range of cultural influences such as Austro-Hungarian, Mediterranean and Slavic heritage. Its territory is as varied as its history and cultural heritage with its many islands, sun-bathed coastlines, pristine national parks and its continental section.

Croatia is also a wine-producing country. Its viticulture can be traced back to approximately 500 BC and the country has more than a hundred indigenous grape varieties! Wine is very much part of the Croatian way of life and is an important element of every lunch and dinner. The country produces wine to suit every taste, from refreshing white wines, bold red wines, lovely rosés, sparkling wines and even sweet wines. We can only recommend you travel to Croatia to sample their unique wines paired with delicious fresh local dishes. You will not be disappointed.
