Wine Cruise

The secret love affair between the sea and wine has been going on since the ancient

times and few are those who can resist it. By joining this very special cruise, which

includes the island of Korčula and Hvar, and the city of Dubrovnik, you will become

a part of that unbreakable bond. A tour of the wineries, the cellars and the local

wine makers on the islands and along the mainland coast around Dubrovnik,

and the chance to savour wines produced from the indigenous varieties of

grapes enables one to learn about the tradition of viticulture and taste

the life of this striking part of Croatia. Let yourself relax in the embrace

of the sea and wine, enjoy pleasant company and give a rest to

your body and at the same time fortify your spirit with this

rather unforgettable oenological adventure.
