Slavonija i Hrvatsko Podunavlje: Vinske priče

The book Slavonia and the Danube Region – Wine Stories by the famous journalist and publicist Željko Garmaz is a content-rich and visually rich publication dedicated to the rich oenological heritage of eastern Croatia. The author continues his recognizable narrative style and, through a series of warm, human and expert notes, guides the reader through the key wine regions of the region – from Kutjevo, Baranja and Ilok, all the way to Erdut, Orahovica and Đakovo.

Instead of dry technical descriptions of wine, Garmaz focuses on the people: visionary winemakers, family traditions passed down from generation to generation and the passion behind every drop produced. Through conversations with the protagonists of the Slavonian and Danube wine scene, the secrets of Graševina, Frankovka, Traminer and the authentic terroir located along the Danube, Drava and the slopes of Papuk and Krndija are revealed.

This work also acts as an excellent hedonistic guide, imbued with the cultural and historical heritage and gastronomic specialties of the region. The book is an essential read for all lovers of wine, tourism, and stories about people who, with their dedication, have elevated the wine identity of Slavonia and the Danube region to the European level.
