The 4 Wine Tours in Zagreb That Earn Their Price

1.Fairytale Castle & Wine Tasting & Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 28 reviews · 7 hours · from $329Our pick

Escape Zagreb for Trakoscan Castle, four Croatian wines, hillside views, and a generous local lunch on a seven-hour small-group tour.

“What a wonderful contrast to being in a large group on a tour bus. Robert hosted only 3 of us. We basically had the castle to ourselves. The drive through the countryside was a nice change to the rush of Zagreb’s cityscape. The Vuglec Breg winery was a real treat. Beautiful setting, surprisingly good variety of white, red, and sparkling wines. And the meal! Tasty duck & veal from their Michelin star restaurant. Robert was not only a good driver but also provided good conversation about Croatia, both present and historical.”

3.Fairytale Castle & Wine Tasting & Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 19 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $343

Tour Trakoscan Castle, a second historic home, and Vuglec Breg winery on a full-day Croatian countryside trip from Zagreb.

“We had a very nice time on our tour to Trakoscan Castle and Vuglec Winery. Our guide Robert was friendly, timely, professional, and lovely to chat with about life in Croatia. The castle and museum are excellently restored, well kept, provide a lot of information, and clearly have some artifacts that one would not see anywhere else. Vuglec was heaven on earth - lovely views, friendly staff, great food, and plenty of good wine. Our only regret was spoiling our dinner - if you’re going to Vuglec, skip breakfast and plan on a light dinner, because the lunch is plentiful!”

Taste Croatian wines, meet local winemakers, explore Samobor, and enjoy cheese and ham on a private day trip from Zagreb.

“We had a great time on a wintery wine tour. We were met at our hotel by Tom who was a great guide. Throughout the tour he presented historical and practical knowledge of the region in a kind and entertaining way. We enjoyed the brief stop in Samobar for Samobar cake that was a great start to the day. From there it was a drive through the mountains to reach two wineries. The first server lovely natural wines and sparkling wines. These were served with a large spread of homemade sausages, cheese and bread. The second location was smaller and even more intimate, where we drank and chatted with the…”
