Depart the pier for a scenic drive to Petrcane, where the renowned Kraljevski Vinogradi Winery awaits on the sun-drenched hills above Petrcane and Punta Skala. These vineyards thrive in extreme conditions — rocky soil, narrow row spacing, and constant air circulation from both the Adriatic Sea and Mount Velebit — creating a unique microclimate ideal for premium grape production.
With over 8,000 vines per hectare, this is one of the few large-scale vineyards in Dalmatia and Croatia. Thanks to its coastal position and full-day sun exposure (averaging 2,600 hours per year), the winery produces exceptional wines with rich character and depth.
Enjoy panoramic views of Zadar, the surrounding islands, and the distant mountains as you explore the estate. Learn about the winery’s history and traditions, then indulge in a tasting of local pink, white, and red wines, paired with typical Dalmatian products.
After the tasting, return to the ship with a deeper appreciation for Croatia’s winemaking heritage.
