The Taste of Dalmatia: Split Wine & Dine
A half-day journey into Croatian winemaking culture, panoramic views, and local flavors in the hills above Split.
This Split wine tasting tour takes you beyond the city walls and into the working vineyards of the Kastel region, where a luxury family winery offers an intimate look at Dalmatian viticulture. You will taste five varieties of domestic wine alongside traditional local appetizers, all while overlooking the Adriatic coastline.
The Kastel region, stretching along the coast between Split and Trogir, has cultivated grapes for centuries and remains one of Croatia's most storied wine-producing areas. The winery visited on this tour combines that heritage with modern techniques, producing wines that reflect the mineral-rich soil and Mediterranean climate of central Dalmatia.
A scenic transfer from Split takes guests uphill through the hinterland, with a dedicated panoramic photo stop on the return leg. The pace is relaxed throughout, making this a comfortable outing for visitors who want to explore Croatian food and wine culture without covering long distances.
Lunch is served at the winery, giving guests time to hear stories from the family behind the estate and to enjoy the countryside setting at their own pace before the return drive to Split.
