Highlights
Korčula Island is famous for its white wines. This tour is intended for wine lovers looking for an authentic and local experience. Two grapes indigenous to Korčula are Grk and Pošip (Poship). The village of Lumbarda is known for Grk wines, while villages in the island's interior are known for Pošip ones. Both grapes have a lot to offer and the wines are mostly compared to Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. This tour gives you a chance to compare both grapes and make your own opinion. Short scenic drives between Korčula, Lumbarda and Žrnovo will give you a chance to see more of the island, complementing your stay in Korčula Town. On the way back to Korčula, we will stop at a view point above the town. You will almost be able to touch the red roofs of a 1000-year-old town.

About Korčula Island
Korčula is a wooded Adriatic island in southern Dalmatia, with a walled medieval town, its own white wines and a narrow strait to Pelješac.
Korčula lies off the coast of southern Dalmatia, a long island covered in Aleppo pine, with Korčula Town on a small peninsula at its eastern end. The old town is enclosed by stone walls and towers, and its streets branch off a central spine in a herringbone pattern. St Mark's Cathedral, in pale local stone, stands at the top of the town, and Marco Polo is said by local tradition to have been born here.
