Description

Situated in a golden valley, which the Romans called Vallis Aurea, framed by the Slavonian mountain ring, throughout the centuries Pozega has been a very vital centre for the population of the central Slavonia. Its location at the foot of Stari grad and the surrounding hills meant that it was able to create a medieval fortress around which the town grew.  Nearby is town of Kutjevo, the capital of wine in continental Croatia. The town is situated in the fertile Pozega ‘golden’ valley. Kutjevo’s famous wine cellar holds archival wine – the famous Kutjevo Grasevina, Pinot Gris, White Pinot, Traminer, Riesling. Right next to the cellar and winery complex there is the beautiful castle of Kutjevo, which was connected to the winery by an underground passage. The famous Baron Franjo Trenk and Empress Maria Theresa once lived here.
