This tour will introduces you to some of the natural beauty and culture of the island of Hvar. You’ll pass by villages and lavender fields on the way to Jelsa or Vrboska to visit a winery, where you’ll learn about winemaking and enjoy a wine tasting.

Once you are picked up from Hvar, travel to Jelsa or Vrboska where you’ll visit one of the most famous Croatian winemakers to discover the wines of Hvar. You will taste wine in one of the listed wineries (Carić or Duboković)! 

Vina Carić

Residing in Vrboska, the Carić family have been involved with vineyards for as long as they remember, however it was not before Vino Hvar d.o.o. was established that they started producing their own wines, “Carič wines”.
Their work in the vineyards is just as important to them as their work in the winery. They have 5 hectares of vineyards in a specially designated wine growing area known as “Vinogorje Hvar.” They also purchase a minimal amount of grapes from contract growers to compliment their crop.
They also grow indigenous varieties: Plavac Mali, Bogdanjuša, Kuč, Maraština, Darnekuša and Pošip.
Their wines have an individual story from the vineyard to the winery.

Duboković – 2718 hours in the bottle

Situated also in Jelsa, you will have a chance to taste what it’s like to try ”2718 hours in the bottle”. Young and ambitious ”wine newcomers” without vineyards or with very small land plots. Their feeling belief is that basing wine production on grapes purchased from other farmers can’t possibly be as good as coming from your own vineyard. Here in Croatia, Dubokovic wines have become a ”must have” in the finest restaurants, hotels and specialized wine shops. Dubokovic – Medvid wines now have the distinction of being the most expensive regular vintage wines in the country.
