As reported on the City of Kaštela web site, the two day event started on Saturday with a horses-and-coaches procession through Kaštela, starting from Konoba Matela, then Perišin Winery followed by Bedalov in Kaštel Kambelovac and finishing in Biliškov Winery in Kaštel Lukšić.
However, if you missed that, do not despair, tomorrow (Sunday) is the Open Konoba Day. Starting at 10 am you can visit eight different producers of the original Zinfandel in its natural habitat. In Kaštel Sućurac the Matela winery, in Kaštel Kambelovac Perišin and Bedalov wineries, in Kaštel Stari the winery of the Agricultural Cooperative, winery Kuzmanić, and Marin Milan winery, and in Kaštel Štafilić wineries Vuina and Ivica Milan.
This is a great initiative by the City of Kaštela and the Crljenak winemakers. Kaštela is the original region where the Crljenak grapes came from, and later were intruduced to Southern Italy as Primitivo and California as Zinfandel.
