What an absolutely awesome trip. Tasted some lovely wines and local food. This was shared with 2 other lovely couples from Ireland and Oxford, whom we had not met before. The whole experience was 10 out of 10 and would recommend anyone visiting to give it a try.
A good way to spend a few hours without having to travel too far. Nice car ride to the vineyard in the hills. You do not get to explore but are seated immediately and are then offered 6 different wines to taste (surprisingly good!!) along with some excellent cheese & meat platters. The host explained how each wine was produced - very interesting. I deducted one star because I did feel it was overpriced for what it is.
Great wine selection. Got to try orange wine for the first time. Lovely cheese plate. Easy pick up location. Would recommend to anyone in the area.
Great experience, informative, beautiful setting, really enjoyed our afternoon
We had a fantastic wine tasting trip in Hvar and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the island. Toni picked us up right on time from the bus station in Hvar Town, and he had already messaged us on WhatsApp beforehand so it was very easy to find the meeting point and know exactly what to expect. During the drive, Toni was very informative and shared lots of interesting information about the island, the local area, and the wines. We also stopped along the way at a beautiful viewpoint where he explained the scenery and gave us time to take some photos, which was a really nice touch. The wine tasting itself included six small glasses of wine — three whites, one rosé, and two reds. It’s worth noting that the tasting takes place at the winery with lovely views, rather than directly in the vineyard, but the setting was still very enjoyable and relaxing. After the tasting, we had a scenic drive back to town and got to enjoy even more of the beautiful surroundings of Hvar. Overall, it was a very well-organised and enjoyable experience with great hospitality from Toni.
Brilliant experience! The pick up was easy - we had a message shortly beforehand confirming details. The winery is in a stunning location. The wines were great, my only regret is not buying some to bring home... Highly recommend
Our guide was great. The drive interesting and the history of the local area was great. The food spread provided was nice. The wines were just okay. Once we were served they paid us no attention as they were totally focused on who else was coming in the door
It was absolutely amazing. Our host was incredible and even the driver was extremely kind and gave information during the driving up. Every part of this experience was perfect. 1000% recommend!
The driver and staff were lovely and so was the wine although after the experience we felt as though the pricing was rather steep for what you get. The serving sizes are relatively small considering the amount you pay and it felt a bit rushed as we weren’t even gone for the full three hours. The drive is nice, very scenic and the venue itself is authentic in its heritage but would recommend considering if the price is really worth it.
Thank you for your honest feedback. However, compared to other wine programs on Hvar, which are priced higher, I would like to remind you that for 65 EUR per person you received a scenic 30-minute drive along the most beautiful part of the island, a moderated tasting of 6 wines – a total of 0.6 liters – all naturally crafted “by hand and without chemicals”, a cold Field-to-Plate Sampler (local cheese varieties and Mamma Lina’s jams, homemade sausages, organic garden vegetables), as well as round-trip transfers back to Hvar town. As the ancient Greeks would say: “It is not the wine that carries the price, but the one that opens the soul.” Warm regards,
Spectacular views and amazing, unique wine. The staff was lovely and knowledgeable. Live music was a nice surprise. Highly recommend. It was perfect.
Glad you love it!
