Trips to Croatia, which many have turned to over the past year, are an ideal opportunity to not only recharge our batteries, but also make us aware of the value of what we have. When discovering domestic destinations with “pedigree”, you should definitely not miss the far east of Croatia, especially if you associate the travel experience with top-quality (and affordable) eno-gastronomy.<\/p>\n\n

In Eastern Slavonia and Baranja – and this is not some local patriotic legend without cover – the experience of enjoying food and wine has been developing since ancient times. Even while Europe was debating whether the Earth was a flat plate, some Pannonian truths of the palate and “tibice” were indisputable. Just take kulen, a delicacy created by combining local raw materials and oriental spices (red pepper, and for the inhabitants of Baranja, white pepper). If it were in the hands of the Italians or the French, its at least four centuries long tradition would today be something like mortadella or gouda – a world-famous general gastro-noun. What can we say about the thousand-year-old Baranja vineyards and the famous Belje winery, which hides a half-millennium-old beauty in Kne\u017eevi Vinogradi – the largest historical wine cellar in Croatia? Nothing, except to afford the pleasure of getting to know them.<\/p>\n\n
