Why choose Wine Tales from Vrbnik?
Overview
This is an ideal excursion for all wine & dine enthusiasts who will take this wine & dine tour to taste the local white wine žlahtina and learn all there is about its characteristics and production. The grapes this wine is made of grow only in Vrbnik on the island of Krk. In addition, you will also be able to taste homemade sheep cheese and prosciutto as well as other traditional Krk delicacies.
The excursion starts when you will be picked up by taxi and taken to Vrbnik, a small coastal resort widely known for its rich wine & dine offer. Transfer by taxi is optional, with an additional charge of 200 kn.
If you come to Vrbnik in your own arrangement, we will meet in the House of Wine Ivan Katunar, where a tour of the wine cellar, an introductory tasting of wine as well as telling the story about the characteristics of local wines from Vrbnik is organized. In this family winery you will try 3 interesting wines (ca 0.5 dcl per wine):
