Croatia

Day 1 - Solta
Once on board your skipper will set sail for your first destination, the island of Šolta. You will arrive at the little bay of Sesula, perfect for relaxing, swimming or diving, or even fishing. You will then dine at Sismis bar, a restaurant which specialises in grills, has excellent service and a wonderful view.

Day 2 - Solta - Brac Island
In the morning you can take a coffee at Maslenica, a tranquil village far from the busy tourist areas. You will be able to walk here on foot or by dinghy. You will then head towards the stunning bay of Bobovisca on the island of Brac. Here you can spend the day soaking up the rays.

Day 3 - Brac – Vis
Today you will leave the island of Brac and head for the island of Vis. As well as its stunning natural beauty and renowned wines, the island of Vis is also famous for its rich cultural heritage. The white grape, the Vugava, mainly grown in the stony soils of the south east of the island, is the pride of Vis. It produces a full-bodied wine with the flavours of apricot which are similar to that of a Viognier (white grape variety). The best Vugava comes from the Lipanovic vine which is renowned the world over. The wine tasting cellar of Lipanovic is at the end of a tunnel which has been cut out of a rocky hill.

Day 4 - Vis - Hvar
The history of the island of Hvar dates back to 6000BC. During the centuries it has been transformed into a chic and popular holiday destination home to a rich cultural heritage. Wine pruduction on the island dates back to antiquity. In the 4th century the Greeks on the island of Paros brought their grape harvest and established their settlement on Faors, nowadays known as Stari Grad. Plavac mali is the most famous wine from the Dalmatia region, and the best red wines come from the southern Hvar. It is recognisable for its dark red colour, a pleasant bouqet and a distinct aroma. The Plenković wine cellar has won more than a hundred medals, prizes and accolades which confirm its excellency.

Day 5 - Hvar – Korčula
Today you will head in the direction of the wonderful town of Korčula, the birthplace of Marco Polo. Wander its winding streets and discover the historic secrets of the town, its fortified walls, the Saint-Marc cathedral and also the town hall. Dinner will be served for you in the restaurant of the Lešić Dimitri palace, a former episcopal palace which is nowadays a luxury hotel. The chief sommelier Drazen Matkovic will allow you to try all of the many wines and varities of Dalmatian produce during your evening. Enjoy a memorable meal and hear tales of the history of wine production in this region.

Day 6 - Korčula – Peljesac
You will next sail to Peljesac. In some of the most renowned wine cellars in all of Croatia, you will try, from the bottle or barrel, red wines such as Plavac Mali, Dingac and Postup or white wines such as Posip and Grk. The Pelješac peninsula is the most famous red wine producing region in Croatia. You will also have the chance to buy some of the wines at a very good price straight form the vineyard.
