The last stop is a winery which is in a beautiful location to go along with the excellent wines and food.

4.Private Wine Tour from Zagreb: Two Local Wineries & Samobor

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 18 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $288.07

Private wine tour from Zagreb with Samobor town charm and two Plešivica wineries, tastings, local bites, and a comfort ride.

“Fabulous tour with Tom today. The driving distance is relatively short (30 - 40 mins) which gives ample time for exploring the beautiful hills outside of Zagreb. The wine tastings were amazing, generous, and accompanied by superb cold cuts, cheese and breads. The winery owners willingly sat and chatted and shared the wine and food, telling us stories of their family businesses. Tom was an excellent, knowledgable and friendly guide. Could not recommend this highly enough.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 11 reviews · 5 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $226.87

Private Zagreb wine road day with English guide, Plesivica tastings, Samobor medieval sights, and forested hills views, hotel pickup.

“my friend and I were incredibly excited to get on this tour and view wineries and Samobor for the day. The trip ended up being very messy. Our first stop from the Zagreb city center was Samobor, although according to the itinerary online we were supposed to head to the Plešivica wine trail and try our first wine (the sparkling wine of the region). Tony was very kind and gave us a walk around the town, exploring the church, town square and walking along the stream, ending with kremsnite and coffee. On our way to the winery we stopped by a crystal cutting shop where the owners were not present.…”

Taste Plešivica wines, walk medieval Samobor, and enjoy a meal stop with Zagreb pickup on this 6-hour tour.

“The tour is wrongly advertised that it includes a 3 course meal, which is not true as only some cheese and ham waa served. Thanks to our tour leader from Zico who took us to Dinner. Fantastic views and scienary but the host at the winery seemed in a rush. Overall for what we paid it is not worth it.”

7.Zadar, Šibenik: olive oil, wine & food tasting, Self Drive

Self drive olive grove walk near Benkovac for 5 gold award oil tastings, Croatian wine pairings, and Dalmatian bites in 2.5 hours.

“We did the tour as a birthday present with a total of 10 people. Everyone loved it! The host was very nice, funny and friendly. Everything was relaxed and tailored to our group, rather than too formal :) The food (much more than expected) was very tasty and the selection of wines was also great and delicious, and of course the olive oil was top notch! Everyone took bottles home with them. There was also a bit of history, but just enough to make it interesting to listen to and not too much or dry. So highly recommended and we'd love to do it again”

Fik også fremragende tapas-servering til smagningen. Vi endte med at få shippet en palle vin til Danmark med fri fragt :-) På vejen tilbage gav chaufføren endda kolde øl fra bagagerummet med køleskab. Alt i alt en helt perfekt oplevelse!”
