If you have your own wheels, stop for lunch at this sparkling restored mansion, set 3km from Toplice along the old road to Varaždin. Surrounded by vineyards, it serves central European fare (think schnitzels, stews and veal medallions) in the four interior salons, or on the terrace with pastoral views.
There’s a wine trail, a garden labyrinth and three cosy doubles (300KN) upstairs if you'd like to stay the night. Reserve ahead on weekends.
