Wine

Imagine an island whose vineyards enjoy the most sun in the Adriatic, an average of 2,724 hours a year.  

Imagine an island whose wine tradition has continued uninterrupted since the Ancient Greeks planted the first vines in 384 BC

Imagine an island whose quality wines include Croatia’s only Grand Cru.

Imagine Hvar.  

The good news is there is no need to imagine.  The wines are ready for tasting, the picturesque vineyards are available to visit, the wine experts are waiting to share their knowledge and produce.

A wine tour of Hvar should be an integral part of any visit to Croatia’s premier island.
