Explore the picturesque countryside and authentic castles, hear about the wine making process, and sample several sorts of wine on a private day trip from Zagreb. See the most famous and best-preserved castle in Croatia, Trakošćan Castle, and admire the beauty of the vineyards.
Start with pick-up at your hotel in Zagreb and drive north. After a pleasant drive through the beautiful countryside, reach Trakoscan, the most famous and best-preserved Croatian castle.
The castle was first built in the late 13th or early 14th century as a small defensive fortress. The complex of Trakošćan that exists today, a romanticist synergy of architecture and nature, is a result of the 19th century.
The castle was reconstructed in neo-gothic style and the surrounding landscape, including a lake, emerged after the model of an English park. See a valuable collection of paintings, furniture, and weapons and enjoy walking around the picturesque surroundings of the castle.
After the castle, explore the centuries-old tradition of wine-growing and wine-making at ''Vuglec Breg''. A visit to the wine-cellar is a special experience for every guest and enjoyment in wine-tasting will bring a smile of delight to the lips of every wine enthusiast.
After the wine tasting, have lunch in a traditional restaurant serving seasonal and homemade products from the region of Zagorje (lunch is optional).
