  • Plan of adventure

    Travel deep into the vineyards and olive groves in a traditional carriage pulled by two purebred horses, through spectacular Kaštela Valley, a place where nobility built 17 citadels and palaces, home of the Croatian tragic love story of Miljenko and Dobrila, a spot of the oldest Croatian 1500-year-old olive tree „Mastrinka“*,  and the birthplace of a very famous Zinfandel vine! Experience a wine tour by visiting three wineries and tastings the most famous Croatian grape variety „Kaštelanski Crljenak“*- the grape the Americans call Zinfandel and the Italians call Primitivo. Enjoy the relaxed pace alongside the 20-km long coast of Kaštela and world-class wines while leaving the bustle far behind on an ancient wine region with undiscovered wine gems. Next to wine notes, immerse yourself into fruity notes of Kastela's olive oil while passing through olive groves, visit the cool cellars where the olives are kept, and sample the different varieties of Kastela's extra virgin olive oils. If you’re hoping to get an authentic look at Dalmatia's olive oil heritage, this is the right way to do it! Along the 3-hours route, your coachman will entertain you with local history and intriguing aspects of wine- and olive oil-making.

    *Zinfandel is a grape primarily grown in California, whereas Primitivo is a grape primarily grown in Italy. But these grapes are actually the identical. And even more, Primitivo and Zinfandel were never the original names for this grape. The grapes are originally from Kaštela, Croatia, where they are called Crljenak Kaštelanski.
    **Mastrinka, an olive (Olea Europea), more than 1500 years old grows in Kaštel Štafilić, which locals call Mastrinka. It is considered that it was brought from Southern Italy or Greece.
