In a small town near Krapina, there is a restaurant Vuglec Breg surrounded by Zagorje hills, and right next to it there is an eponymous winery. Baronial brut is definitely worth trying here, which is a sparkling wine produced by the classic method. Apart from sparkling wine, you can taste white and red wines of the Chardonnay, Rhine Riesling, Graševina, Sauvignon, etc.

Gourmets and wine lovers usually fall in love with Vinski vrh Bolfan as well the local restaurant and winery. The real art of their viticulture is Pinot Noir.
