This exclusive half-day wine tour takes you deep into the heart of Hvar’s renowned wine country, where centuries-old traditions meet bold, modern winemaking. Just 25 minutes from Hvar Town, we embark on a scenic journey along the island’s famed Lavender Road, a winding route that connects charming hilltop villages and offers breathtaking panoramic views.
Because we’ve lived on Hvar for generations, we have privileged access to some of the island’s most outstanding wineries, where family vintners craft exceptional wines using indigenous grape varieties and time-honored techniques.
Tour highlights:
Your adventure begins with a personal pick-up from your yacht or accommodation, where our knowledgeable guide will accompany you throughout the day, sharing fascinating insights into Hvar’s rich winemaking heritage.
Our first stop is Lacman Family Winery, perched in the tranquil hilltop village of Selca. Specializing in long-maceration, unfiltered natural wines, the Lacman family adheres to ancient techniques, fermenting and aging their wines in underground clay qvevri vessels—a rare practice in Europe, but one that dates back thousands of years to early winemaking civilizations.
Here, you’ll indulge in a tasting of indigenous varietals like Plavac Mali, Bogdanuša, Maraština, Pošip, and Kuč, expertly paired with homemade island delicacies—prosciutto, artisan cheeses, and “Mama Lina’s” signature jams and pestos. Enjoy this feast al fresco on the winery’s veranda, soaking in the sweeping views of Hvar’s verdant countryside.
After this unforgettable tasting, we continue our journey, passing through the historic Stari Grad Plain—a UNESCO World Heritage agricultural site that has been continuously cultivated for over 2,400 years.
For our second tasting, depending on availability, we visit one of Hvar’s most acclaimed wineries: Duboković, Huljić, Pavičić, Tomić, Carić, or Bojanić. Each offers a distinct take on the island’s terroir, from candlelit cellar tastings to exclusive micro-productions of rare and almost-extinct varietals.
As the sun begins to dip, we conclude our tour and return you to your accommodation, leaving you with a deeper appreciation for Hvar’s extraordinary wines, its rich cultural heritage, and the passion of the island’s winemakers.
This is not just a wine tour—it’s an immersion into the soul of Hvar.

Such a unique experience
‘’Everything was fantastic…… The food at the abandoned village was great, and it was such a unique experience. Our tour guide for the day was knowledgeable and friendly, and we learned a lot about Hvar and Croatian wine… We’d highly recommend Hvar Tours for anyone looking for a daytime excursion in Hvar.’’

Great and informative tour!
‘’ We really loved Violet – she was friendly and you could tell she was passionate and knowledgeable …The drive was beautiful – high up in the rocky mountains of Hvar, away from the hustle … We stopped on the way at a scenic overlook and it was beautiful. We visited one of the top three wineries in Hvar and the tasting was done in a cave. Pretty cool … We also got to try 4 different kinds of olive oils with a side of cheese and bread…. the atmosphere of the wine cellar (think romantic candle light surrounded by oak barrels) …’’
