The island of Hvar produces some of the best vine in the region.
The southern parts of the island are planted with vineyard of the grape Plavac Mali ,a small sweet red-blue grape and this produces the strongest flavoured rich red vine. The north of the island has many plantations of the Plavac, large red grape which produces lighter vine alike chianti. And there is a Hvar white named Bogdanuša.
My favourite vine is the zlatan plavac barrique produced By the PLANČIĆ Family who also have a under sea cellar in SVETA NEDJELJA small town in the southern east part of the island open for vine tasting and food.
Antoher important vine producing family is TOMIĆ and they have a vine tasting spot in the north of the island in JELSA.
However in the centre of HVar old town there is a tiny vine bar in a little street scattered with candles and chunks of wood where you may sit 6 pm onwards, enjoy the beautiful atmosphere and be advised by a man who looks like one of the three musketeers. There you may taste many of the best croatian vines by the glass and nibble at some bear pate. The street is paralael to the main square 10 meters right of the cathedral.
Another fun vine bar is the Hotel park club in the centre next ot the palace hotel, where your can clank away with your vine glass to the music of a live music programe whixh alternates form blues, jazz and bossa nova.
