dEGARRA wiNERy The interior is like something out of an oenophile’s dream, all exposed brickwork and minimalist charm, but it is important to remember that the decor is secondary to the decanting and Degarra. This is a winery, not a design shop, and the available wines are fantastic. Degarra is all about sensory arousal through the classical wine stylings, so head here for a glass or two and then pick up a bottle to take home. QPut vrela bb, tel. (+385‑) 091 232 30 20.

up a bottle or three to take home. QIvana Duknovića 11, tel. (+385‑) 098 89 10 17. By prior arrangement.
