Split/Grad Katela: Vineyard Hen Party Dinner with Transfers

Planning a memorable hen party or special celebration in Croatia? This private Vineyard Hen Party Dinner on the slopes of Kozjak hill offers a blend of scenic beauty, fine local wines, and delicious seasonal cuisine—all wrapped in a relaxed, intimate setting. While it’s not a typical party scene, it’s perfect for those who want an authentic, classy, and unforgettable experience with friends and family.

What we love about this experience is its serene vineyard setting with panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea, the chance to sample three excellent wines along with a thoughtfully prepared three-course meal, and the private nature of the event, which guarantees a personalized touch.

A potential consideration is the location’s gravel surroundings, making comfortable shoes a must for walking through the vineyard. Also, the experience caters to smaller, private groups, so larger parties might need to consider other options.

This experience is ideal for couples, small groups of friends, or anyone seeking a sophisticated yet relaxed way to celebrate that combines wine, food, and extraordinary scenery.
