Wine shop Zagreb: our list of 28 wines
Looking for a wine shop in Zagreb? Taste our wines by the glass before you choose a bottle.
How our wine list works
If you’re searching for a wine shop in Zagreb, Time4Wine lets you taste before you commit.
We pour 28 wines in the Upper Town, built around Croatian grapes such as Graševina, Malvazija and Plavac Mali. Most are €7 a glass and €36 to €42 a bottle, and the house white and red are €4 a glass.
You’ll find us at Kamenita ulica 5, a minute’s walk from the Stone Gate (Kamenita vrata).
The wines are grouped the way they appear on our menu: white, red, rosé and sparkling, then sweet wines and house wines. A glass is 0.125 l and a bottle is 0.75 l, unless the list says otherwise.
Almost every wine comes by the glass and by the bottle, which is what sets us apart from a regular wine shop in Zagreb: you can try a glass first, then order the bottle you liked for the table.
Grape names stay in Croatian, the way you’ll see them on labels across the country, with the English name in parentheses where there is one.
White wines: Graševina, Malvazija, Pošip and more
Graševina is the most widely planted grape in Croatia, grown across Slavonia and along the Danube. Malvazija comes from Istria, the peninsula at the top of the Adriatic. Pošip is the white of the island of Korčula, fuller than most Croatian whites, and it’s on our list by the bottle.

Red wines: Plavac Mali, Dingač, Teran and more
Plavac Mali is the main red grape of the Dalmatian coast. DNA research has shown it descends from Crljenak Kaštelanski, the grape known in the US as Zinfandel. Dingač is Plavac Mali from one named slope on the Pelješac peninsula, and in 1961 it became the first Croatian wine with a protected geographic origin.
Teran comes from Istria. It’s lighter in body than Plavac Mali, with deep color and sharp acidity.
| Wine | Glass | Bottle | Tasting note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plavac Mali | €7 | €38 | Full-bodied, with dark and dried fruit and firm tannins. |
| Dingač | €7 | €42 | Plavac Mali from the Dingač slopes, ripe and concentrated. |
| Teran | €7 | €38 | Deep purple, with high acidity and sour cherry fruit. |
| Cabernet Sauvignon | €7 | €38 | Blackcurrant fruit and a firm structure. |
| Cabernet Franc | €7 | €38 | Red fruit with a fresh, herbal edge. |
| Merlot | €7 | €38 | Soft and round, with ripe plum. |

Wine and cheese in Zagreb: what to eat with each glass
