A Food and wine pairing in the homeland of Zinfandel

Food and Wine Pairing Dalmatia is a unique experience that combines authentic Croatian wines, traditional cuisine, and the fascinating story of Zinfandel’s origins.

Connoisseurs and many others know the ‘story’ of Zinfandel, one of the most famous Californian wines, but only a few know that its mother is Dalmatia. That’s why we’re taking you to Dalmatia to taste wine – Zinfandel, the original one.

Homeland of Zinfandel

Dalmatia.

Undoubtedly, the warmest Croatian region with an exciting history, special people, customs, and traditions, and one of the traditions is wine production. Growing on stone with very little water developed unique grape varieties, and hard-working winemakers have turned it into wine.

Let us show you some of the best!
