 So if you find yourselves in Croatia this holiday season and you make it to the capital of Zagreb, where do you get Croatian wines? I'm going to show you where in this video. Back to exotic wine travel. I am your host, Matthew Horkey. So if you make it to Croatia this summer, you're going to have to fly through the capital of Zagreb. And if you have a stop over, there's some wonderful places to get wine. And I'm going to show you, I'm going to tell you where some of our favorite places to get Croatian wine are in Zagreb. Now this video has not been paid for in any way by these shops, these wine bars. These are just places that we like to go. We have patronized before. Yeah, it's fantastic. I just, I wanted to show this video because in our jantusrobbitsen.com, one of the reviews of our book, Cracking Croatian Wine, there was kind of a, we recommended a few places to go to get wine. And it was of question. Did we actually purchase wine from those places? And the answer is absolutely yes. In that book, none of those shops paid, shops places paid for advertisement there or anything. It's just places we like to go. So let's talk about some of our favorite shops. If you're staying within the tourist center, there's a few shops that are actually very, very close to the tourist center. The first one is Vintessa. It's just a short walk outside. Vintessa is a small shop. I go there because they all, they have specialty wine sometimes from really small producers or they're really hard to get. It's tucked back in a little courtyard, but the cool thing is behind there's also a great pizzeria place. They have some, they have a very good shop, pretty nice prices. Also within the Cinti center is a wine shop and a wine bar called Bornstein's. It's right next to the Zagreb Cathedral. So it's a very famous tourist spot. It's in this old cellar. It's very, very cool looking. I like that place a lot. We've purchased wines there. We've went there. I just have to let you know maybe it's because real estate, I don't know, they have a wine shop attached to the wine bar. The prices there are about 20% more than that you'll find in other shops. Maybe it's convenience factor, real estate. I'm just letting you know that ahead of time. Another place that is the three places that are absolutely my favorite place to get wine are number one. This big, almost like supermarket called Vrutak. It's across the train tracks. It's close to the center of town. They pride themselves in having the lowest prices. They have almost every single Croatian wine, everything from very, very cheap to some premium expensive wines. They even have some expensive Ford wines. I've seen white airmatage there from Shepute, Tinianello. They've had so they have a roast child there. So they have some expensive wines. They have everything. It's cool just to walk around. You get good prices. It's also a supermarket as well. A little bit outside of the center of town is probably my favorite shop, Miva and Mohor. What's cool about them is they have some great prices, great selection. They have some Slovenian wines, some Serbian wines, some wines from around the region in addition to some of the premier, the top, notch top quality Croatian wines. But the cool thing is they have an attached cafe and bistro called the Adranca. It's right next to Miva Mohor and there they have a lot of premium expensive Croatian wines available by glass and they have good food. They're not open. They're not open late to the night. It's mostly for lunch. It's like a business lunch spots a place to check out. Miva as well is just down the road. They have two locations, one towards the center of town, one outside of town, very well presented shop. They have some they have maybe the best selection of international wines. I've seen they've lots of Croatian, fine Croatian wines, some great international wines as well. If you're looking for a drink to actually go to Wine Bar, the Viva downtown location has a new wine bar across the street. There's also a couple wine bars close to the center square, one called Wine Basement Bar where they have around 50 Croatian wines by the glass. It's one of the oldest wine bars in Croatia. It's next to the funicular that takes you up to Overlook Zagreb. Very cool place. All Croatian wines. It's in a basement. They have an outdoor patio. It's a great spot for people watching. And then there's a restaurant bistro called Podzidom Wine Bar and they have some finer foods. It was set up by one of the more famous chefs in Zagreb and they have a fantastic selection of Croatian, Italian, Slovenian. I think they even have some French wines too. So you'll have to check those places out. I will put their links in the description box so you can check it out next time you are in the capital.
