From the terraced vineyards of Wachau to the volcanic soils of Tokaj and the hidden gems of Moravia, Central Europe is having a serious moment among wine lovers. This guide takes you to five outstanding regions – Austria’s Wachau, Hungary’s Tokaj, Croatia’s Istria, Czech Moravia, and Romania’s Dealu Mare – where world-class wines meet breathtaking landscapes and genuine hospitality. Whether you’re into crisp Grüner Veltliner, sweet Aszú, or elegant Plavac Mali, these destinations offer more than great wine: think UNESCO-listed scenery, Michelin-worthy farm-to-table restaurants, and family-run cellars that still welcome guests like old friends.
