Split is one of the living and breathing monuments, both to the way people lived in the past and to different styles and influences carved into its narrow streets, Roman temples, and Christian churches. Outside the palace, the story of Split continues as it spreads from its center, the Palace, to beautiful vistas on the hill of Marjan, to the old town, waterfront promenade RIVA, and its beaches. Trogir is a small island town around 30 km from Split. In the past, the town was a bitter enemy of Split, with wars being waged for the land between the two famous cities. After the Trogir tour, enjoy wine and food pairing experience in Kaštela with one of the local families. You probably know all about the cultivar Crljenak-Zinfandel. DNA fingerprinting revealed that it is genetically equivalent to the “Primitivo” variety traditionally grown in Puglia (the "heel" of Italy), where it was

introduced in the 18th century, as well as to the Croatian grapes “Crljenak Kaštelanski”. The grape found its way to the United States in the mid-19th century and became known by variations of the name "Zinfandel," a name of uncertain origin. Now you can visit where Zinfandel “was born.” Wine and food pairing takes place in a vineyard with magnificent views. The dishes are made of the freshest ingredients found at the market that day, and the menu shall be at the chef's inspiration. After lunch, the rest of the day is at leisure. Overnight in Split.
