To vagabondize across Zagorje means that you will very likely to stumble on the wine roads from which today London is supplied with sweet ice wine, just as the English Court once received the Zagorje turkey and mlinci (traditional type of flat bread). The way that this traditional Zagorje dish was prepared by did not change much, so if was good for the British royalty, it would certainly be good for you too.
The traditional Zagorje cuisine was born from an intense symbiosis with nature, faithfully reflecting the local inhabitants' way of life. People worked laboriously needing hearty food to make it through the long and strenuous days. What we consider healthy eating today has been present in Zagorje's kitchens for hundreds of years: fresh, local ingredients and short thermal processing to keep as much of the foods' natural tastes and qualities.
So when you visit in Zagorje, don't miss on Zagorje delicacies: Zagorje štrukli (Cheese filled pastry), Zagorje roast turkey with mlinci, Zagorje-style soup, Stubica pork roast, Zagorje kotlovina, all of which naturally must be paired with local wines, an inseparable part of Zagorje gastronomy.
