Zmajevac Wine Road
Zmajevac
A Hungarian-community wine village on the Baranja hills, where you can taste Graševina white wine and fish stew along Wine Cellar Street.
Zmajevac lies on the southern slope of the Banija hills, and most of its residents are ethnic Hungarians. The village's main street, known as Wine Cellar Street (Planina Gora), is lined with family wine cellars dug into loess slopes. Many offer wine tastings along with Baranja specialties such as spicy fish paprikash (fiš paprikaš) and grilled meats. The signature wine is Graševina white, though red wines are also made. A nearby viewpoint overlooks the Danube plain. The village is about 30 km from Osijek. It is best to hire a car or driver, and cellars need to be booked on weekends.
