Plešivica - Okić hills are best known for vineyards and it has a rich and long history and tradition in winemaking. The area, because of the configuration of the terrain and the climate, is ideal for the cultivation of grape vines.
This is a continental wine region located an hour-long drive from Croatia’s capital Zagreb. It is a south part of Žumberak mountains with an east-west orientation. Even though it has only 2,300 hectares of vineyards, Plešivica is one of the most interesting continental regions. Although it is the smallest wine region, it is best known as home of Croatian sparkling wines.
Tasting excellent continental white and red wines followed with a hearty, traditional lunch full of authentic dishes is the perfect way to really experience the picturesque Okić county and Plešivica.

The most attractive point of the area is Okić with Old Town on its rocks. It is one of the oldest medieval feudal towns of distinctive preserved Romanic architecture on exceptional position and is regarded as unique in the continental part of Croatia. All neighboring places carry its name – Novo Selo Okićko, Sv. Martin pod Okićem as well as famous Okić cherries. Woodlands are in the west and vineyards and orchards cover the southern slopes. In its lower areas where hilly terrain merges with plain there are more and more meadows and fields.
