Wine tasting at Grabovac winery
- Travel to Grabovac winery
- Learn about wine history and tradition
- Explore vineyards and vinification process
- Enjoy wine tasting session
The experience
Grabovac is one of Dalmatia's leading wine producers, and the tasting centers on the winery's own still wines paired with a spread of local charcuterie and bread. A professional guide walks you through the history of the family operation and the vinification process, connecting what's in your glass to the vineyards and traditions that shaped it. The winery sits in a region where grapevines have been cultivated since ancient times, and the Grabovac family has stewarded that knowledge through two centuries of winemaking.
Hotel pickup and drop-off from Makarska bookend the outing, and you'll travel in an air-conditioned vehicle. The tasting itself is the centerpiece (five wines to taste and discuss with your guide), but the locally sourced platter of prosciutto, cheese, sausages and homemade bread is part of the experience, not a side note. Four to five hours is enough time to move through the wines without rushing and to sit with the flavors.
