In the eastern Croatia, bordered by two mighty rivers, Danube and Drava, on one side and the land
border with Hungary at the other, the beautiful Baranya is settled.
Since ancient times of the Roman Emperor Probus people planted vines on the slopes of the hill
Banovo Brdo, which has remained the trademark of Baranja. During history the bond between local
residents and vineyards has been so strong that the region is called "Bor anya" which in Hungarian
means "mother of wine". Baranya´s wine routes Batina - Zmajevac - Suza - Kne are
well known, and how not to be, when stories have been told about the hospitality of wine makers,
and unforgettable taste of home-made specialities ensures that guests - wine lovers - keep comming
back to Baranya.

The town is first mentioned as Chuza in 1252 in the grant of King Bela IV. In the period from 1698th to the 1734th
the village was owned by Eugene of Savoy, and during the revolution 1848/49 residents are exempted from
