Discover Hvar beyond the coastline — in its inland hills, sun-warmed vineyards, and shaded olive groves. This is not a standard tour. It is a curated tasting day designed for guests who appreciate authenticity, culture, and refined culinary traditions.
From hand-picked wines to artisanal olive oil, and culminating in an unforgettable peka meal in a private konoba, this experience lets you taste Hvar as it was meant to be tasted.
Morning – Vineyard Discovery & Wine Tasting
Your private guide escorts you into the quieter heart of Hvar’s countryside, where ancient vines ripple across terraced hillsides and the Adriatic glimmers in the distance.
At select boutique wineries and family-run estates, you will:
• Walk through lush vineyards and learn about local viticulture
• Sample indigenous grape varieties with expert tasting notes
• Compare aged reds and crisp whites
• Enjoy local cheese, fig preserves, and artisan bread paired with fine wine
This is not about crowds — it’s about discovering the terroir and stories that shape each bottle.
Midday – Olive Groves & Oil Ritual
Hvar’s olive groves produce some of the Adriatic’s most elegant extra virgin olive oils — green-fragrant, balanced, and rich in flavour.
In a shaded grove or traditional mill, you will:
• Learn about olive cultivation and cold-pressing methods
• Taste oils from different harvests alongside fresh crusty bread
• Pair oils with local accoutrements such as sea salt, herbs, and citrus
The palate awakens — preparing you for the highlight of the day.
Afternoon – Traditional “Peka” in a Hidden Konoba
For the meal itself, you will be welcomed into one of Hvar’s hidden inland konobas — family-owned, authentic, and away from the well-worn tourist paths.
Here, beneath an iron bell (peka), local slow-cooked specialties emerge:
• Lamb or octopus simmered under embers
• Seasonal vegetables perfumed with rosemary
• Rustic breads and local salads
• A final flourish of Hvar honey and almond desserts
Settle in to long table conversation, paired wines, and the warmth of genuine Dalmatian hospitality.
This is food with soul — cooked with patience, shared with joy.
