Taste of Varaždin – Food & Wine Walk
Taste of Varaždin – Food & Wine Walk is a guided gastronomic walk through Varaždin, combining local stories, the historic city centre, a three-course lunch and carefully selected wine or other drinks.
The tour lasts 2–3 hours, is available in Croatian and English, and is designed for guests who want to experience Varaždin slowly — through walking, conversation, local flavours and the atmosphere of the town. Instead of a classic lunch in one restaurant, each course is served at a different restaurant.

A Varaždin food tour for guests who want to experience the town through flavours
This tour combines licensed tourist guiding, a relaxed walk through Varaždin’s historic centre and a gastronomic experience across three different restaurants.
Between courses, you will walk through the town with a local guide and discover how people once lived in Varaždin, what they ate, which stories shaped the city streets and what makes Varaždin’s gastronomy special.
At each culinary stop, a new dish is served with carefully selected wine or another drink by arrangement. The tour is ideal for couples, small groups, international guests, business visitors and anyone looking for a combination of sightseeing and a quality local gastronomic experience.
