Tradition Mix

Overview:

A Celebration of Kaštela’s Timeless Winemaking Heritage

Discover the heart and soul of Kaštela through the Tradition Mix, a thoughtfully curated tasting that beautifully bridges the past and present of Dalmatian viticulture. This experience brings together two unique expressions of the white wine Maraština, along with two iconic reds — Kaštelanski Crljenak (Zinfandel) and Babica — for a perfectly balanced exploration of the region’s native grapes.

Begin your tasting with Maraština, one of the oldest and most treasured white varieties of the Dalmatian coast. In this experience, you’ll savor two different vinifications of the same grape — one fresh and youthful, the other mature and complex — revealing how time, technique, and terroir can shape a single variety into distinct personalities. The journey then deepens with Kaštelanski Crljenak (Zinfandel), a bold and expressive red that connects Croatia to California’s famed Zinfandel lineage. Its full-bodied richness and elegant spice capture the story of Kaštela’s enduring winemaking legacy. Finally, experience Babica, an indigenous red grape cherished for its smooth texture and gentle tannins, offering a graceful conclusion that perfectly balances intensity and finesse.

Each of these exceptional wines is paired with four courses of handcrafted Dalmatian-style tapas, prepared using local ingredients that highlight the harmony between food and wine. Expect flavors of olive oil, fresh herbs, aged cheeses, and traditional cured meats — all chosen to reflect the authentic culinary character of coastal Croatia.

Set within the serene seaside surroundings of Bedalov Winery in Kaštela, the Tradition Mix invites guests to taste, learn, and connect with centuries of regional craftsmanship. It’s more than a tasting — it’s a tribute to Dalmatia’s enduring passion for the vine.
