11 WINES Dobričić The Dobričić grape is indigenous to Šolta. A heritage grape, lost during the destruction of the Šolta vineyards during WWII, the revival work being carried out at Kaštelanac is of particular significance to the Croatian wine industry. It comes in a red and rosé variety. Vugava, Viski Opol, Plavac Mali The popular Vugava is made from a white grape indigenous to Vis and is often compared to Viogner. An Opol rosé and red Plavac Mali Barrique are also on offer. Sample these accompanied by local pršut (prosciutto), anchovies and cheeses in the cool of the bunker once occupied by Tito. Plavac, Opolo Nobile, Beleca Sample a variety of wines accompanied by carefully chosen local dishes; cheeses, hams and anchovies in the beautiful wine cellars. Modelled on ancient Roman dining rooms, a trip to the cellars themselves is a real treat and an opportunity to learn more about Hvar s extensive history. Bosso, Bročko Rić, Spoža, Prošek Limited production capabilities and the popularity of their wines means this is the only place to sample most of the Senjković wines! Each wine is paired with a delicious homemade canapé for a real taste of Brač. Slide 11

12 VINEYARD Kaštelanac (Solta) A short distance from Stomorska, Kaštelanac is a charming, family-run farm and vineyard. The winery offers rosé and red wine; both derived from the Dobričić grape. Kaštelanac also produces high quality olive oil, traditional Dalmatian liquors and a selection of homemade cheeses, marinated fish and other local delicacies. Antonio Lipanović vineyard (Vis) Located in an old military bunker a short walk from Vis Town, Antonio Lipanović is well established as one of Vis leading winemakers. A visit to this winery combines all that Vis has to offer; the ancient wine heritage along with the more recent military history. Tomić vineyard (Hvar) With 150 years of family winemaking tradition and extensive training in France; Andro Tomić is at the forefront of modern wine production on the island of Hvar. Focused on combining traditional techniques with modern technologies and cultivating both indigenous grape varieties and experimenting with foreign and new grapes, the Tomić winery produces some of the best wines in Croatia. Senjković vineyard (Brac) The rocky and unforgiving terrain of Brač means that the Plavac Mali grapes cultivated here are different to those found on other Dalmatian islands and this is apparent in the Senjković wines. The rustic wine cellar is full of character, with stacked barrels and old black and white family photos. Slide 12
