Croatia By The Glass offers an absolutely unforgettable journey into the heart of Croatian wine culture, guided by the incomparable Tomislav Tuđen. From the moment our tour began, Tomislav’s passion, warmth, and deep expertise transformed a simple wine tasting into an immersive storytelling experience. He doesn't just pour wine, he brings the history, geography, and traditions of Croatia’s distinct wine regions to life with engaging narratives and incredible local insights. His selection of wines is meticulously curated, showcasing brilliant boutique producers and indigenous varieties that you won't easily find on regular store shelves. Tomislav pairs his profound sommelier knowledge with an approachable, fun, and hospitable spirit that makes everyone, from casual enthusiasts to seasoned connoisseurs, feel completely at home. If you are looking for an authentic, educational, and deeply delightful taste of Croatia, booking a tour with Tomislav and Croatia By The Glass is an absolute must. It was the undisputed highlight of our trip, and we cannot recommend him highly enough!

For a truly lovely and enjoyable team-building event, you provided us with an exceptionally interesting and educational program, along with a superb selection of wines and specialties from the Plešivica region. We experienced both quality and abundance in the flavors and aromas of a wine tour that we will remember, recommend, and repeat at the first opportunity. High praise goes to our guide, Tomislav, who understood our wishes and interests and led us—expertly and with great insight from start to finish—allowing us to experience the beauty and heritage of the Plešivica and Jastrebarsko region in the perfect way and at the perfect moment.

Organizing a corporate event for our company’s partners, based on a recommendation, I decided to hire Tomislav for a wine workshop. Communication with him was excellent - always on time, clear, and effortless. The workshop itself was fantastic! Tomislav made it fun, engaging, and very educational, all in English. He had everyone laughing and created such a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Our guests absolutely loved it! Tomislav is a truly kind, professional, and approachable person. Thank you for everything, we’ll have you in mind for our future events!

Wow! what a day we had touring the Croatian Uplands with Tomislav. We visited Kurtalj and Jagunić wineries and feasted all along the way. Tom’s knowledge of the region, its wineries, food production and general history made for a most knowledgeable tour. Special mention to Owners of both wineries who where gracious with their time in talking to a wine couple for Perth in Western Australia And finally the 4 course meal cooked by the Matriach of Jagunić was a truely wonderful experience and the highlight of our two weeks touring Croatia

We had a fantastic time on our recent wine tour with Croatia by the Glass. Our guide - Tomislav - was great. He was very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. We visited two beautiful wineries where we enjoyed delicious wine and lunch.

The nine of us women had a perfect little getaway and a weekend to remember! Kayaking on the Mrežnica River, sparkling wine and wine tasting at the Jagunić Winery accompanied by a homemade lunch just like Grandma used to make, followed by an overnight stay in a beautiful house in Plešivica—everything was relaxed, delightful, cheerful, and flawlessly organized. Even the smallest details were attended to. Croatia by the Glass definitely knows how to create a special excursion! :)

You are exceptional! You made our retirees' trip from Dubrovnik to Međimurje truly unforgettable. Tomislav, you are the kind of person one rarely encounters in daily life, and even less so in a professional setting—which is a real shame. I have traveled often, but the level of helpfulness, kindness, and professionalism you displayed is truly impressive. It would be wonderful if you could train others in this profession so they could learn how it should be done! Stay just as you are and don't let anything change you, because nothing is more valuable than the qualities you possess. You are valuable simply by being exactly who you are!❤️

A friend and I have been celebrating our birthdays for years with the same group of girlfriends—ever since high school—but this year, Tomislav’s wine tour to Plešivica allowed us to raise the bar once and for all! He treated us to phenomenal homemade food and a fun quiz, and justified the—let’s-not-mention-exactly-how-many—glasses of wine and sparkling wine with a bit of education on traditional Croatian coopers. If you ask our better halves and the offspring we forgot about for the day, that was the only reason we went! :) 10/10, hands down!

Our four-day educational wine tour of Međimurje and Plešivica was wonderful and unforgettable, thanks to our excellent, accommodating, and professional guide Tomislav—whom I highly recommend to future clients 👍🖐️ Thank you, Tomislav; I look forward to meeting you again. Best of luck in life and work! 💙🍀

A perfectly organized trip and New Year's celebration in Tuscany, featuring visits to beautiful wineries and tastings of exquisite wines. Kudos and recommendations to Tomislav and the agency for organizing a top-notch experience and a delightful trip!

Given my limited experience working with small agencies or "one-man bands"—as opposed to more personalized agencies—I would say that everything was at a high, indeed very high, level. My only quibble—which made me hesitate slightly about awarding that fifth star—is that the van should have been more spacious, considering the "body mass" 😉 of the passengers in the back row.
Davor Maričić
Top marks for the agency and Tomislav. Our trip to Tuscany was perfectly organized. Thanks to his superb knowledge of wine, the wine region, and the local culinary offerings—which were outstanding—Tomislav helped ensure we could simply relax and enjoy the journey. A sincere recommendation if you appreciate a good glass of wine.

My husband and I returned full of impressions from each workshop or wine tour. I can't wait for the next destination. Tomislav and Jure are an excellent and harmonious team :)

Dear Tomislav, once again, thank you very much for everything this weekend, several people said that this was the best team building for us so far and I must say that I definitely agree :)

Tomislav organized a birthday party for my wife and her friends. We arranged everything in secret so that everyone would be surprised. He was accommodating, simple and full of ideas. He fulfilled all my expectations and wishes, and the girls were delighted with the tour

Short and clear: I had the most beautiful birthday! All recommendations Thank you❤️

I have known Tomica and Jurica for a long time, but I got to know them better on a trip to Piedmont. Their organization is great, their knowledge is impressive, their flexibility is praiseworthy, and their mood is high. Cheers!
