The experience

Malo Grablje sets the tone for this ride: a picturesque village dating to the 16th century, abandoned in the 1950s, its stone houses and overgrown paths still standing. As you cycle through on your e-bike, you'll pass the lavender fields that once made the village famous for oil production, and the intricate dry-stone walls that locals built by clearing rocks from the soil to create fertile ground and mark boundaries. The panoramic views from here sweep across the Adriatic and the islands beyond. The e-bike handles the terrain smoothly, letting you move at your own pace without a guide dictating stops or timing.

The route winds through Velo Grablje, another former lavender cultivation center now quieter and terraced, before arriving at Lacman Family Winery in Selca. The winery sits on a hillside terrace and gazebo where you taste organic wines made from handpicked local grapes with minimal intervention. The winery's philosophy is to capture the essence of Hvar's terroir rather than impose technique. Cold starters accompany the tasting, and the views from the terrace carry the same sweep of sea and islands you saw from the villages. The whole route covers 35 kilometers and takes around four hours, though you set the rhythm.

This is a self-guided experience, so there's no group schedule or guide narration. You follow the route on your own, stop where you want, and arrive at the winery when you choose within the day. The e-bike removes the physical strain of climbing Hvar's interior, making the ride accessible regardless of fitness level. Public transportation options are nearby if you need to reach the starting point without a rental car.
