with Mario Bartulović



 

When: Year round

Duration: Full day (can be shortened)

From: Dubrovnik area, Korčula 



Among all wine tours in Dubrovnik area, this one is, by far the most unique and the most interesting one!

Secret Dalmatia’s Peljesac Wine Tour takes you to the beautiful Pelješac peninsula. Located in the heart of South Dalmatia, this picturesque area is home to some of the most intriguing red wines in Europe. Our private wine tour includes a trio of wine-tasting opportunities at Croatia’s most respected wine cellars, field visits to their vineyards on the slopes of this magnificent peninsula and a magnificent Dalmatian lunch at the celebrated Bartulovic estate. Your host is Mario Bartulović, a renowned Croatian wine-maker, who will be our personal guide throughout the day.  Our first experience on Peljesac is the Miloš winery, home of the charismatic poet/winemaker Frano Miloš, where you will get a chance to taste his red MILOS PLAVAC or his now legendary, STAGNUM, also a red, made of 100% Plavac Mali grapes. 

Next, we visit the Grgic winery in Trstenik. Miljenko Grgich studied wine-making in Zagreb. After migrating to the US, with only $20 in his pocket, he founded the famous Grgich Hills winery in Napa Valley but not before he made a name for himself being part of Chateau Montelena success story in the 70s! While you visit the Grgic cellars, you will taste their famous white Posip and their red Plavac Mali Dingac. The winery is located on a hill overlooking the charming Trstenik harbor.

Our final sojourn will be to the 500-year-old wine cellar of Bartulović, your guide´s family estate, where you will enjoy a wine-tasting and a superb traditional Croatian luncheon. All accompanied by their great wines!
