The Birth of Zinfandel – Winemakers’ Tour

Journey on a half day wine tasting tour with your private chauffeur, tracing the origins of the beloved Zinfandel wine grape. It wasn’t until 2001 that extensive DNA research officially proved what Croatians have known for a long time, that the Californian Zinfandel and Italian Primitivo are indeed the direct descendants of Crljenak Kaštelanski, a vine sort native to the Dalmatian coast, more specifically to the Kaštela region near Split.

Join your host, a renowned winemaker whose family has been harvesting wine for generations, for a tour of his vineyards, production area and barrel room. Enjoy tasting new wine directly from the fermentation tanks and comparing to bottled vintages, accompanied by a selection of the finest local cheese, prosciutto, bread and the winemaker’s very own olive oil.
