About the holiday inspiration
Day 1: Introduction to the Fairytale
- Upon arrival and check-in at your chosen accommodation (apartment or holiday home), it’s time to unwind completely.
- And dinner? No need to worry – it’s already waiting for you! You’ll be welcomed with a Zagorje bundle – a traditional bundle filled with local delicacies and homemade specialties, enough for a gourmet dinner… and probably some left over for a delicious breakfast the next morning.
Day 2: A Journey Through History & Tradition
- Time to explore – start with a visit to the authentic village of Kumrovec, followed by the impressive Veliki Tabor Castle, one of the most beautiful castles in Croatia.
- End the day with lunch at a traditional Zagorje restaurant.
Day 3: A Day for Sips & Serenity
- Today is all about indulgence and relaxation! With transportation and a driver provided, you can fully enjoy a worry-free eno-gastro adventure.
- Visit three handpicked locations where you’ll taste wines, brandies, Zagorje gin, and craft beer – each offering a unique story and flavor. And of course, no proper tasting is complete without a bite to eat – where you’ll enjoy it is a surprise that will only add to the magic.
Day 4: A Day for Wellness & Culinary Delight
- Start with a wellness session to relax your body and mind.
- Then, enjoy an exclusive gourmet experience: Chef Jura comes to your accommodation to prepare (with or for you) a late lunch or dinner – no cooking, just pure enjoyment of top-quality dishes in the comfort of your own space.
Day 5: Market Morning, Vuglec Breg & Sparkling Moments
- Visit the Market filled with local products, then head to Vuglec Breg for a wine and award-winning sparkling wine tasting.

Day 6: A Sweet Ending to Your Gastro Fairytale
- Your journey takes you to Marija Bistrica, where you’ll visit a winery offering not just wine tastings, but also tastings of pumpkin seed oil and pumpkin-based products.
