Croatia's wine-growing heartland receives prestigious European recognition, with four key regions poised to lead its cultural and tourism boom

In a prestigious ceremony held in Mostar on Monday evening, Osijek-Baranja County was officially named European Wine Capital for 2025, an accolade bestowed by the European Network of Wine Cities (RECEVIN).

This significant recognition celebrates the county’s rich viticultural heritage and its growing reputation as a hub for wine tourism.

County Prefect Mato Lukić expressed his pride, highlighting the vital role of Baranja, Erdut, Đakovo, and Feričanci, four renowned wine regions that form the foundation of Osijek-Baranja’s tourism development.

He remarked that the title provides a tremendous boost to the county’s continental tourism and is a valuable promotional resource.

Following its recent recognition as the most hospitable region in Croatia and among the world’s top ten, this new accolade further strengthens Osijek-Baranja’s position as a premier destination for wine lovers and travelers alike.
