Croatia, with several distinct wine regions, over 130 authentic sorts of vines and a number of highly individual wine-makers, is an exciting playground for all lovers of the Dionysian juice. Travel down the coast tracking the footsteps of Plavac mali grape to understand the impact of terroir, or explore wines aged in amphorae or buried on the seabed.
Mostly produced in small quantities, and in family-run wineries, Croatian wines are still largely bound to the national borders. Hence, enjoying a wine tour is not only an insight into the exciting present of this important tradition, but it is also a unique chance to taste excellent wines scarcely available elsewhere in the world. Private wine tours of Croatian wine cellars are available on request.

In 2005, Secret Dalmatia was started from pure love for Croatia’s heritage, its incredible diversity, and beauty. We have since remained faithful to our initial mission – and are still today a boutique travel agency dedicated to showing the true, wholesome Croatia to the discerning travelers who want to experience our country and all our riches, not just see it.
As Croatians drink most of their small-batch productions before the bottles hits the international market, you really have to know where to look in order to find Croatian wines abroad. We try to keep an eye on the international restaurants and distributors who carry Croatian wines, but will also be happy to ship you a case or two directly from the source. Cheers!
