Ilok Cellars (Iločki podrumi) are guardians of Croatian wine tradition that dates back more than two millennium when it comes to vineyard appellations Principovac and Vukovo.

The Old Wine Cellar built in 1450 is the first originally purpose built wine cellar in this part of Europe. They are part of the undiscovered story of the old wine world in which the Odescalchi family was putting a striking mark in the process of creating great wines, based on the selection of best appellations, noble varieties, new technologies and original domain filling – bottling on on their property. Two centuries later, this „so called Odescalchi model“ became an example that was followed by other great names in the past and present wine order.
