Escape to the sun-scorched Dalmatian hinterland for a private tasting at Rak Winery, one of Šibenik County's most celebrated small producers. Indigenous grape varieties, local olive oils, and seasonal bites make this a definitive taste of Croatia's viticultural soul.
What to expect
A short drive from the port brings you to Rak's stone-walled estate, where the winemaker walks you through the vineyard and explains the unique terroir of the Dalmatian karst landscape. In the cool cellar, you taste through a curated flight of whites, rosés, and reds alongside traditional pairings. The unhurried, personal format means genuine conversation about Croatian viticulture rather than a conveyor-belt tasting.
Good to know
Pre-arrange a private tasting by contacting the winery directly before your cruise — they accommodate private groups warmly but appreciate advance notice. Factor in 20–30 minutes travel each way from the port. Combine with the Old Town walk for a perfect half-day: cultural heritage in the morning, wine and gastronomy in the afternoon.
