Croatia is one of Europe’s most compelling yet underexplored wine nations, where geography and history combine to create remarkable diversity in the glass. From the Adriatic coast of Istria and Dalmatia to the continental plains of Slavonia and the green uplands around Zagreb, the landscapes are as varied as the wines themselves. In this episode, Vince travels across these distinct regions to explore how shifting borders, cultural influence, and family tradition have shaped a modern identity rooted in native varieties. Meeting winemakers championing grapes like Malvazija Istarska, Graševina, Teran, and Plavac Mali, he reveals how this Adriatic country has quietly revived one of the most dynamic wine scenes in Europe.
