Continental Croatia is divided into following wine areas (from east to west – right to left):
- Podunavlje (Danube) region
- Slavonija (Slavonia) region
- Moslavina region
- Prigorje-Bilogora region
- Pokupje region
- Plešivica region
- Zagorje-Međimurje region

Climate is typical continental with cold winters and hot summer. Average rainfall is evenly spread throughout the year. Although the regions share similar geological features, the differences are visible.
Regions on the far east (Podunavlje) are mainly plains and enjoy lots of sun and strong winds. The soil is relatively poor (loess) and suited for the varietals, which are high in yields and sugars.
Already the first region more on the west (Slavonija) is more humid and has richer soil. Geographical and climate conditions are similar to some Bourgogne regions, such as Côte-d’Or, therefore the typical varietals from that region show some good results. The most important appellation in Slavonija is Kutjevo valley (Kutjevačka dolina), called also Golden valley. The valley is surrounded by smaller mountains, such as Krndija, on whose slopes are the best vineyard positions.
Even more on the west the climate is colder and other grapes are grown. Mainly those are aromatic varietals, such as Sauvignon, Muscat and Pinot Grigio, but also indigenous grapes, e.g. Skrlet, Moslavac (Furmint). On the northwest the best results are obtained with “Predikat” wines (late harvest, ice wine,etc), aforementioned varietals and some Austrian and German grapes, such as Sylvaner and Riesling.
