  • Adriatic & Balkans
    Travel Experience: Adriatic & Balkans Page 1 Page 2 The Adriatic and Balkan countries are becoming more and more a interesting landmark for wine lovers and wine writers. Starting from the Northern Adriatic countries to the Balkan Peninsula we can find countries that are culturally and politically diverse, but all share in a millennia-old love of wine and its production. More than 400 autochthonous varieties of wine grapes are grown on this area. Some, such as Plavac Mali, Zelenac and Vranac are basically unknown in the rest of the world but produce fine wine in most of the Adriatic and Balkan nations. There would appear to be an immense potential for greater development of wine tourism in the region, which with time could become a boon to its new market- based economies.
