Vina Kota is a winery in Gornja Batina, in central Croatia, that rents its space for private events with up to 100 guests across the winery and its terrace. The team organizes tastings and team building, and accepts other formats on request.
Seminars and company events
The winery lists team building among the events it hosts. Teams can book a tasting of Kota wines and sparkling wines with cheese and cured meats, a vineyard tour with a tasting, or a decoration workshop with wine. A walkthrough of how the sparkling wine is made is also offered. These formats suit a team day or a client evening more than a working seminar. The site does not mention screens, sound or meeting equipment, so ask what is available if you need to present. The winery also sells wine and sparkling wine in gift boxes, which companies can give to staff and business partners.
Weddings and receptions
The official site does not offer weddings. It does list private celebrations such as birthdays and bachelor and bachelorette parties, as well as a private romantic vineyard tour with a dinner and sparkling wine. Other events are accepted if you send a short description of the idea.
Rooms and capacities
The winery and its terrace hold 100 people in total. The site names these areas: a kitchen with a large island, an indoor area where chairs can be set up, a gallery, and a terrace with high tables. The layout can be adapted to the event and to the organizer's needs. The site gives no separate capacity for each area, and no standing or seated split.
Catering
The site does not describe a catering service. Its event formats include tastings with cheese and cured meats, afternoon tea with wine, and homemade snacks for movie nights. The kitchen with its island is part of the space. Ask the winery which food and drink it supplies for your format.
History and setting
Kota produces wine from vineyards on hillsides of central Croatia, planted at different altitudes. The site gives the scale of the estate: 2 hectares of land, 4 grape varieties and about 20,000 bottles a year. The range includes still wines and sparkling wines, and the winery makes its wines with its own yeasts. Gornja Batina is the address listed for the winery.
Getting there
The winery is at Gornja Batina 88. The site does not describe public transport or parking, so ask about both when you plan a group visit. To start a request, send the winery your event idea, the number of guests and your preferred dates.
