wine tastings at bacchus bistro

Bacchus Bistro is proud to present the wonderful world of Croatian wines! Our ongoing wine events are more than feasts for the palate. They are exciting explorations of 300 wine regions of Croatia, home to over 2,600 registered winemakers.

Under the experienced lead of our in-house sommelier, you’ll not only meet some of the country’s most famous winemakers who have made their way onto the world stage but also discover up-and-coming or less-known producers that continue the millennia-long winemaking tradition.

Wine is woven into the very heart of this land, proven by the fact that Croatia has the oldest continuously planted vineyard in the world. The island of Hvar’s location of Stari Grad Plain, today a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been planted with wine grapes for 24 centuries.

Croatia is home to at least 130 native grape varieties, enough to form an entire wine alphabet. As many as 40 varieties – some of which exist nowhere else in the world – are currently being made into wine as sold commercially.

 

The extremely diverse climate and geographical conditions of Croatia give birth to an astounding range of wines. The golden continental plains of Slavonia and the country’s northeastern hills of Zagorje are home to the famous whites. The Croatian coast is a true paradise for wine lovers. Our wine events and tastings will take you from the northernmost coastal region of Istria and its renowned winemakers, all the way to the magical peninsula of Pelješac, home to globally famous reds, on a journey filled with distinctly opulent tastes.

 

Whether you are a wine connoisseur or not, you will learn first-hand why Croatian winemakers keep winning a record-breaking number of medals, year after year.

Wine tastings are designed for groups and have to be booked in advance.
