Adriatic Uncorked: The Wines of Croatia

Croatia has been making wine for roughly 2,500 years, which means winemakers there were pressing grapes long before most of the wine world even got started. Somehow it's still flying under the radar, and that's exactly why we're pouring it.

The country's wine story runs along two very different coastlines. Along the Dalmatian coast, sun soaked islands and steep, rocky vineyards produce bold, structured reds from grapes you've probably never heard of, some of which turned out to be long lost relatives of better known Italian varieties. Inland and to the north, cooler regions turn out crisp, mineral driven whites that feel worlds away from the richer coastal reds. It's a country with more native grape varieties than most wine drinkers could name, and almost none of them have made it onto the average wine list.

In this class, we'll pour our way through a lineup of Croatian wines, though the exact bottles will be a surprise until the night of. Expect a mix that may include bold Dalmatian reds, crisp coastal whites, or lesser known native grapes we're excited to introduce you to. Whatever ends up in your glass, we'll talk through what makes Croatian wine so distinct: ancient winemaking traditions, dramatic coastal terrain, and grape varieties that exist almost nowhere else on earth.

Whether you're a newcomer or already deep into wine geekery, this class is built for real conversation, real curiosity, and zero pretension. Come taste a wine country most people can't find on a map, and leave with a whole new region to get excited about.
