Croatia's answer to the summer heat

The famous Hungarian winemaker from Villány region, Valér Bock recently criticized clickbait headlines—which I also hate—but I decided to give it a try. Because, of course, it’s not in the Hungarian restaurants...

The Stina Winery (and its sister brand, Vina Brač 1903) is located about an hour by ferry and a 40-minute bus ride from Split. It can offer vacationers a full day’s itinerary, and it ranks among the top three in Croatia for both white and red wines. Okay, maybe just in Dalmatia, but that’s still impressive!

I’ve always been fascinated by places at the crossroads of cultures, where traditions, language, food and wine are intertwined with influences from differing peoples. 

Here are 10 wine regions that I think are worth visiting in Central Eastern Europe this year.
