What's this trip about?

    There’s a reason they filmed Game of Thrones in Croatia. It’s spectacular. Croatia is a nation of islands, more than a thousand islands to be exact, full of keys and peninsulas that dot the waters along the Adriatic River. On a clear day they say you can see the Italian coast across the Adriatic. Its as rich in wine as it is in topography and beauty, in fact, California’s beloved zinfandel grape was discovered in Croatia. We would like to introduce wine lovers to this new wine frontier by guiding you on this exciting adventure with many winery visits blended with cultural and culinary experiences. Croatia has two primary wine regions, Primorska Hrvatska (“Coastal Croatia”) and Kontinentalna Hrvatska (“Continental Croatia”). The wineries in these regions spread northeast from the shores of the Dalmation Coast to the floodplains of the Danube River.

View Profile

Experiential wine vacations and multi-day wine/food tours. Each tour focuses on immersion in a particular wine region (or comparing 2) and exploring the wines and cuisine, and a bit of culture and history that go with it.

The name Wine Lovers Tours kinda says it all. We are a small family-run wine vacation tour operator. We offer 5-8 scheduled tours per year in addition to customized packages in the wine regions of the Europe, Australia & N.Zealand, South Africa, South America and North America. and each is different – never repeated exactly the same. Sure we get our guests into some of the world’s top wine producers but we also focus on making each tour unique & immersive. We don't just visit wineries in a particular wine region, we tie in the terroir, the regional cuisine, the history and more of a particular wine region. One day may be a tasting and dinner at a Michelin restaurant and the other may be exploring ruins followed by a tasting and barbecue in the vineyards with the wine maker and local villagers, another day may be walking with dogs on a hunt for truffles.
