Vukšić is located in the hinterland of Zadar and Benkovac, in the Ravni Kotari region. The area has been inhabited since antiquity, evidenced by numerous remains of fortifications and graves in the surroundings. The village is a typical example of Dalmatian rural structure, where viticulture, olive growing, and grain production form the basis of livelihood. Culturally, Vukšić is shaped by the Church of St. Michael, a symbol of the local community's endurance.

In Vukšić, traditional folk songs and customs are maintained, expressed during local festivals and church holidays. For visitors, Vukšić gives a glimpse into authentic life away from the coast. The region is a paradise for cyclists wishing to explore the gentle hilly landscape on low-traffic roads.
