Kos-Jurišić Winery is a family farm with 3.5 ha of vineyards, 30 kilometres from Zagreb in Nespeš on the Zelina Wine Road.

During the weekend, the Kos Jurišić winery offers baskets with warm bread, homemade food and wines, and in the vineyard, bales of straws are transformed into tables, which are surrounded by blankets and pillows and invite you to a magical atmosphere. Bacon, chicken and pork are ready and wine is also there, with a view of the hills where the vineyards are, it reveals the green corners of the Prigorje region. The baskets include homemade salami, breaded pizzas, roast pork, potato salad, bean salad, štrukli, apple pie, zelina loparka, homemade bread from grandmother Dragica, apple and elderberry juices and Zelina wine.

Working hours are for Friday, Saturday, Sunday from 12.00 to 19.00 and the number of seats is limited, so arrival should be announced by phone 091 511 00 73 or info@vina-kos-jurisic.hr.

The Kos-Jurišić family, when hard times came, when restaurants were closed, did not give up. In addition to the latest project "Picnic in the Vineyard", they decided to offer wines door to door. So every day Mario Jurišić delivers his wines to Zagreb addresses. The flyer with the winery's phone number 098 377 907 was to be found in the mailboxes. The famous Zelina Kraljevina, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Muscat Yellow and a mixture of varieties are distributed. In addition to the wines that are delivered around Zagreb, the Kos-Jurišić winery also has kerner, Ranji Riesling and sparkling wine.

Of course, Zelina is known for the Kraljevina, mentioned in 1841 by the famous ampelographer Franz Xaver Trummer, who listed Croatian varieties in the middle of the last century. It gives very drinkable wines of low alcohol, delicate aromas and a little more pronounced but pleasant acidity. And now that beautiful spring days are coming, a good choice for the weekend is a trip to the vineyard for bacon, chicken and pork and a few sips of the Zelina Kraljevina.
