Descend into Ilok's 15th-century royal wine cellars — the oldest continuously used cellars in Croatia — for an exclusive private tasting of the legendary Graševina and Traminac wines that once graced Habsburg imperial tables.
What to expect
Your host sommelier leads you through barrel-aged stone corridors dating to the Odescalchi dynasty, explaining the unique terroir of the Srijem wine region. You'll taste four to six wines — including the Traminac that was served at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II — paired with artisan local cheeses and charcuterie. The cellar maintains a perfect 12 °C year-round, a sensory contrast that heightens the theatre of the pour. The session closes with a chance to purchase directly from the estate's private reserve.
Good to know
The cellars are a 10-minute walk from the ship's berth; book a private tasting in advance via the website or by emailing the estate. Allow 1.5–2 hours. All-aboard times are typically comfortable from here, but confirm your ship's schedule.
