Ilok Wine and Gastro Tour from Zagreb

Pick up at hotel in Zagreb, and drive (apx. 3,5 hours) with a luxury car/minivan to Ilok- on Principovac. Ilok is located along the mighty Danube that connects the valleys and hills, east and west, land and rivers. This area is interesting enough and rich enough that thousands of years ago became the starting point of European civilizations. The rich and unique archaeological finds date more than 8000 years, preserved traditional culture and heritage nurtured, irresistible food, royal wine and at the end man and nature in harmony with mutual respect. Upon arrival you will be served welcome drink – a glass of sparkling wine and tours of vineyards with tourist guide (Vukovo-Principovac) and tour of the freshwater aquarium located at Principovac. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the Odescalchi dukes built the town’s famous wine cellars, the Old Cellars of Ilok (Stari Iločki podrumi) in which for more than five hundred years maturation and care of high quality wines is being performed in a traditional way, in wooden oak barrels.The cellars also keep the valuable archive of Traminer, Welshriesling, Rheinriesling…

At Old Cellar again a refreshment – a homemade salt cakes and a glass of wine Gewurztraminer – and guided tour of the old cellars and the bottle of Traminer as a gift.
