Hvar: Island tour with Wine and Olive Oil Tasting

Starting from the Hvar town, the tour continues to the Napoleon fortress at 250 m elevation with an amazing view of Hvar town and surrounding islands. The tour then proceeds following the old road, to the central part of the island, through the picturesque villages and lavender fields.

Our second stop is St. Roko’s Chapel, a place with a
wonderful view of Stari Grad Plain (UNESCO World Heritage). Upon our arrival in Jelsa, our host at Duboković Winery is Mr. Ivo Duboković - the owner of one of the best Croatian wines called "Medvid".

He only produces 15 000 - 20 000 bottles per year and therefore his wines are in demand. Duboković’s wine cellar is situated in a traditional Dalmatian "konoba" in Jelsa. One of his co-operative vineyards is located at an altitude of 530m near Hvar's St.

Nicolas peak and is over 90 years old (autochthonous wine variety called "Darnekuša"). Apart from wines you will also taste a wide variety of aromatized olive oils which he produces.

Mr. Ivo Duboković is a man who is not afraid to experiment with wines and olive oil, and that makes him so special. As a result, his wines can be found at the desks of top restaurants in Croatia, Switzerland, Germany, and recently even in France.

This modest but admired winery will amaze you and the flavor of aromatized olive oils will follow you throughout your vacation. The tour ends with a transfer back to your hotel after the degustation.
