Wine tasting, two wineries

In the 4th Century BC, the Ancient Greeks brought grape vine to this sunny island and planted it in the fertile plain of the ancient village of Pharos.

Amidst centuries of rich and turbulent history, the people of Hvar—blessed with the lushness of the Mediterranean—have cultivated their vineyards with great skill and care. Grapes and wine gave these people food, safety, and medicine. The island has been home to the finest variety of grapes this region has to offer, but one challenge has remained: how to cultivate such richness and harmony and turn it into great wine. Hvar’s methods are tried and true. Wines from the island have become very competitive at wine fairs, winning First Place prizes and being counted as some of the best wines in the country.

Our Wine Tour is fully guided – not a shuttle service that drops people off to fend for themselves.  We provide you with personalised attention and service, ensuring you have the best experience and most memorable day.

In the wine cellar, as your guide entertains and educates you on the local wines, you will be able to taste the wines of your choice. Be forewarned: It’s easy to get lost in the lessons, to become immersed in the rich flavours of this palatable drink—especially these wines of Hvar, the noblest of all; so please, be prepared to thoroughly enjoy yourself and bring as much time with you as possible!

ITINERARY

Arriving in Vrboska (also known as Little Venice of Hvar) we visit a traditional Dalmatian wine cellar where we taste 4 types of wines and a variety of cheeses to complement these drinks.

Next we drive to Vrbanj where we will visit the first private winery in Croatia founded during socialist time in 1985. We will sample four different wines, learn about different local wine varieties, terroirs and more than 2500 years old history of the wine making in Dalmatia.

Please, let us guide you on a wine-tasting adventure. Your palate and taste buds will thank you!
