WINE TASTING IN ILOK, CROATIA
Ilok's vineyards have helped to firmly cement Croatia's
position on every oenophile's map. For more than two
millennia, the town has been producing some of the
region's finest wines, thanks to its superior soil and
the climate of the surrounding hillsides. In the town,
wine cellars can be found on every street, providing
ample opportunity to sample a hearty vintage, and
the remains of a Roman fort with evidence of a water
supply system can still be seen. The 15th-century
Ilok Castle presides over the medieval town, offering
magnificent views of the Danube.
