Tour description
Just a short drive from Zagreb lies Plešivica, a small wine region with a big reputation – often called Croatia’s “Champagne region”. This is Tihana’s signature tour, crafted for wine lovers who want more than a standard tasting.
We begin with a stop in the charming town of Samobor, famous for its architecture and its irresistible kremšnita cream cake, which you simply have to try. Afterwards, we drive into the hills of Plešivica, where Chardonnay and Pinot Noir thrive, alongside innovative orange and sparkling wines.
Your main stop is a family-run winery, where the winemaker personally guides you through a tasting of around six wines (five still wines and one sparkling), paired with charcuterie and local cheeses. The pace is slow and relaxed: plenty of time for questions, photos and simply enjoying the view over the vineyards.
If you want to make it a full gourmet day, we can arrange a traditional lunch in an authentic hilltop restaurant overlooking the vineyards – including the option of baked duck “ispod peke”.

Reviews
Tihana made the one day we had in Zagreb special. It was a rare rainy day, but (after realizing that we only had the one day) she modified the tour to make the best of it. Of course seeing the main sites in Zagreb was great, but what we enjoyed most was talking with Tihana and hearing her perspective on life in Zagreb/Croatia and its recent history. She also provided great recommendations (e.g., restaurants) for both before and after our tour (which included other parts of Croatia we were visiting). Tihana definitely helped us enjoy and make the most of our time in Zagreb!
Tihana was a delight for start to finish. She is deeply knowledgeable and passionate about Zagreb and the history of Croatia. At every turn she generously shared a wealth of insights not so obvious to us as outsiders. It was obvious that her motivation was to optimize our time, understanding, experience in Zagreb. This included tips on restaurants, foods to try, walking tours we could do on our own, and even thoughts on the places we were next planning to travel within Croatia. We were sad to say goodbye
An excellent day with Tirana-My wife and I spent the mid-morning to mid-afternoon with Tihana on the "Total Zagreb Tour." From the time I booked the tour she had excellent and helpful communication with us on tips for enjoying our Zagreb time which was so appreciated. Today (10/6/2023) she gave us a wonderful tour of this lovely city at both a pleasurable pace and with as much detail as you would want. She's passionate to deliver a positive experience and she totally delivered today!
