If nowadays you travel  to Slavonia and Baranja, the spirits and liqueurs you taste will tell you a story that, naturally, springs from tradition, but is also inspired by modernity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tasting Rooms<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u0110ani\u0107 tasting room is located in the Na\u0161ice area, more precisely in Podgora\u010d, offering a range of traditionally produced Slavonian rakija (fruit spirit) and liqueurs, also served up and down the Adriatic coast, thus combining the Croatian green and blue. The \u0110ani\u0107 rakija and liqueur shop and plant in Podgora\u010d has been operating since 2003. About twenty different kinds of fruit rakija and liqueurs can be bought at the distillery or ordered online <a href=\"http:\/\/www.danic-rakija.hr.\">(https:\/\/www.danic-rakija.hr\/)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the other end of the destination, the Divania tasting room represents perhaps the best example of the above-described principle of tradition immersed in modernity. The Erdut peninsula on the Danube, where the Erdut-Dalj hill is covered in vineyards and orchards, is a place where not  only excellent wines are produced, but rakija as well. It is in the new, beautifully decorated Zori\u0107 distillery <a href=\"http:\/\/www.divaniarakija.com\">https:\/\/www.divaniarakija.com\/ <\/a>in Erdut (address: Bana J. Jela\u010di\u0107a 18), where the outstanding <em>Divania<\/em> fruit rakija and liqueurs are created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>North of the Drava, in Baranja, the Goldberg tasting room in Popovac, Planina 16 (FB Goldberg) offers<br>the experience of savoring a glass in the pool or under a gazebo, overlooking the endless fields of Baranja. The tasting room fits 30 people, who can also enjoy the swimming pool, golf, walk the hills and woods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A little further south, the Baranja plain is home to a distinctive contemporary interpretation of the old Croatian rakija tradition, the Kne\u017eeva Ku\u0161aonica (Duke\u2019s Tasting Room). The most famous Baranja producer of excellent rakija &#8211; Udruga UPRIV (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.upriv.hr\">https:\/\/upriv.hr\/)<\/a> from Kne\u017eevi Vinogradi &#8211; offers the brand <em>Kne\u017eeve Rakije<\/em> (Duke\u2019s Rakija). This tasting room and distillery are located in a recognizable brick building (address: Put Lipa 1), reminiscent of a medieval tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/visitslavoniabaranja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Destilerije-rakija-foto-Marko-Banic-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visitslavoniabaranja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Destilerije-rakija-foto-Marko-Banic-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/visitslavoniabaranja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Destilerije-rakija-foto-Marko-Banic-440x293.jpg 440w, https:\/\/visitslavoniabaranja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Destilerije-rakija-foto-Marko-Banic-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/visitslavoniabaranja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Destilerije-rakija-foto-Marko-Banic-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/visitslavoniabaranja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Destilerije-rakija-foto-Marko-Banic-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Distilleries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several dozen registered distilleries in eastern Croatia. Most of them produce rakija or, in local terms, bake it in the traditional way, in copper cauldrons. These distilleries, however, do also use modern processes, primarily to control the conditions during production, distillation, and maturation of the rakija, as well as packaging and its market presence in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most awarded distilleries is certainly Romi\u0107 from Osijek, whose brand <em>Jedna<br> rakija<\/em> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jednarakija.com\">https:\/\/jednarakija.com\/<\/a>) has become quite noticeable in just four years. At both domestic and and international competitions, Dinko Romi\u0107&#8217;s distillery has garnered numerous gold medals. The distillery is located in Nemetin, at Nemetin 37, where you can taste and buy the rakija, as well as several types of liqueurs and gins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spouses Ivana Petro\u0161anec Pi\u0161l and Emerik Pi\u0161l run the \u0110akovo distillery Bijeli Gusak <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bijeli-gusak.com\">(https:\/\/bijeli-gusak.com\/<\/a>). It was established as the logical next step in processing the fruit from 6.5 hectares of their orchards. You can taste and buy the rakija (and excellent gins) in their distillery\u2019s tasting room in \u0110akovo (A. Mihanovi\u0107a 4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the abovementioned places, you will find homemade rakija, usually \u0161ljivovica (plum), sometimes viljamovka (pear) or some other fruit distillate in almost every village household in Slavonia and Baranja. The homemade products are not necessarily branded, but rest assured they have a soul (especially after two or three shots in the little glasses, here also known as \u010dokanj\u010di\u0107i). A glass is raised in  moments of celebration, joy, at births, baptisms, weddings, and farewells&#8230; Friends and guests are welcomed and sent away with rakija.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Written by: Luka Jakop\u010di\u0107\u00b8 Igor Mikuli\u0107<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Long gone are the days when one would call for rakija only in moments of despair.
