Peljesac wine & oyster tour (Duration approx. 8 hrs)

Wine has been a part of civilization for thousands of years. In Croatia it is tied to a long tradition of living off the land in this beautiful, but often harsh landscape.

Zinfandel, United states’ most beloved wine, actually comes from Croatia. Zinfandel and Italian wine Primitivo are both Crljenak Kastelanski, from the Croatian region Kaštela in Dalmatia. The Croatian climate appears ideal for wine  grapes: warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters along the coast. Inland, there’s a shift to a continental climate, where it’s cold and snowy in the winter and hot and humid in the summer. Then there’s the “bura”, the northeasterly wind known to wreak havoc. These various climatic influences can often create a harsh growing environment for grapes. Crljenak has also been studied by Mike Grgich, native from Peljesac, founder and winemaker at Napa’s Grgich Hill Estate. In the 1950s, Grgich stumbled upon Crljenak vines upon arriving in the United States. Initially, he thought that they descended from Plavac Mali, Croatia’s most planted red grape, after he noticed the shape of the leaves and size of the berries. But as it turns out, Crljenak was actually a parent of Plavac Mali.
