Wine tourism on the island of Hvar is a story that is successfully developing and in which many winemakers and stakeholders in tourism are involved. There is still room for further progress, but the wine of the island of Hvar is already recognizable outside of Croatia, thanks to the previous promotion.
The pre-season has started, so it is an ideal opportunity for additional promotion of autochthonous products, primarily to foreign tourists. And how much Hvar has to offer guests will be shown by the first topic "Wine and Chocolate" as part of the "Hvar Wine Tasting" event. "If you haven't decided where to spend your extended weekend, "Wine and Chocolate" is a great invitation to visit Hvar, an island with a long wine-growing tradition that has been going on since antiquity", invites the Tourist Board of the town of Hvar.
The theme will combine wine and chocolate, and visitors will be able to enjoy tasting Hvar wines and island chocolate delicacies: Čokolade Gamulin, Sweets Hvar and Eva Marija Ćurin.
Two thematic workshops will be held as part of the event. "Wine and chocolate - originally from Hvar" led by Marija Vukelic, a wine promoter who will combine wines and Gamulin chocolate and reveal to wine lovers the tastes and smells of Hvar that are captured in them. "Tasting Hvar Plavac" will be led by Ana Mucalo, an expert on this most important Dalmatian black grape variety.
The last day of Wine and Chocolate is dedicated to getting to know Hvar - the island of wine, and the program consists of a tour of wineries and the Vinogradarska collection in Pitva. But "Wine and Chocolate" is just the beginning of a series of interesting wine events as part of the "Hvar Wine Tasting" designed by the Association "Hvar Winemakers" in cooperation with the City of Hvar, the island's tourist boards and partners from the destination.
