Highlights
  • Jelsa - In Jelsa, a small coastal town with a long wine-making tradition, the Tomić family cultivate indigenous grapes as well as experimenting with new ones. Pay particular attention to Prošek, the original Dalmatian wine made from selected grapes of the highest local quality.
    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.

Last but not least, the Carić family in Vrboska have been involved with vineyards for as long as they remember. However, it was not before Vino Hvar was established that they started producing their own “Carič wines”. The family have 5-hectares of vineyards in a specially designated wine growing area known as “Vinogorje Hvar.” 

We will choose three vineries among five listed above. Our choice will depend on the availability of listed vineries. Please feel free to suggest your favourite vineries and we will try to do our best.

Great wine, great guide, great time! - Wonderful trip! The wineries were very small production, very artful about their craft, and happy to let you sample their pride and joy. Our guide was excellent and not only showed us more of Hvar, but also answered all of our questions and gave us more helpful advice for our trip.

Two trips for the price of one - We booked this trip on the suggestion of our travel agent, Trailfinders, before leaving the UK. It turned out to be a wonderful recommendation. Dinko our driver and guide picked us promptly from our hotel - we were only two on the visit and he drove us through the ‘new’ tunnel to the southern side of the island. During the course of the afternoon we visited 3 wineries. At each we were greeted enthusiastically by the owners and sampled their range of wines - white, rose and red - together with nibbles. The ‘whites’ were without exception excellent though we found the ‘reds’ a bit heavy. On our return journey to Hvar, Dinko drove on the old road over the mountain where we could enjoy fantastic views of island and benefit from his all encompassing knowledge of the island, history and people. In summary two trips for the price of one!
