Krk isn’t just known for its food—it’s also home to one of Croatia’s most distinctive and underrated wine regions. The star of the show is the Žlahtina grape, grown exclusively in the fertile vineyards of Vrbnik. This indigenous varietal produces a crisp, aromatic white wine that perfectly complements the island’s cuisine.

Wine-making in Krk is a cherished tradition, and local vintners take great pride in preserving their craft. The island’s unique soil composition, sunny climate, and sea breeze all contribute to the character of its wines. At Neptun, we offer a curated wine list that highlights the best of the region.

Top Wine Pairings:

• Žlahtina – With its light body and citrusy aroma, this white wine pairs beautifully with grilled fish, seafood salads, and pršut. It’s refreshing on a warm summer evening.
• Red Plavac Mali – This robust Dalmatian red is excellent with heartier dishes such as lamb, grilled meats, or pasta with meat sauces. Its notes of dark fruit and spice add depth.
• Rosé Wines – Ideal with lighter dishes like shrimp risotto, grilled vegetables, or appetizers. A glass of chilled rosé is a lovely midday treat.

Whether you’re a casual sipper or a wine enthusiast, Krk’s wines are sure to leave a lasting impression. Ask our staff for a pairing recommendation to enhance your next meal at Neptun—you might just discover a new favorite.
