We had an incredible wine tour with Sarah - a fantastic English speaking guide. Her passion for wine and knowledge about the chateaux were evident throughout the tour. Sarah is very knowledgeable, passionate and enthusiastic, and her explanations about the wine-making process and the history of the chateau were very interesting. The wine tastings were also great! Our 3 kids (aged 7, 9 and 11) loved the tour too! I highly recommend this tour! *** Only issue is that google maps gave us very wrong directions and it was not easy to find the right entrance

Their cellar network was astounding. So much history behind this property. Not forgetting the lovely view of the vineyards from their courtyard. Sarah was a great host at the tasting.

What a great experience me and my partner had. Our guide Sarah explained the tour in such detail, that girl needs to be given a promotion. She has big passion and love for the work she does. I learned so much about the history and the wine.I highly recommend ??

Church of St Donatus

The Church of St Donatus name refers to Donatus of Zadar, who began construction on this church in the 9th century and ended it on the northeastern part of the Roman forum. It is the largest Pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

The beginning of the building of the church was placed to the second half of the 8th century, and it is supposed to have been completed in the 9th century. The Zadar bishop and diplomat Donat (8th and 9th centuries) is credited with the building of the church. He led the representations of the Dalmatian cities to Constantinople and Charles the Great, which is why this church bears slight resemblance to Charlemagne's court chapels, especially the one in Aachen, and also to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. It belongs to the Pre-Romanesque architectural period.

The circular church, formerly domed, is 27 m high and is characterised by simplicity and technical primitivism.
