Some of Croatia’s top wines, including the highly esteemed Dingač is produced nearby with numerous vineyards offering tastings.
You can also find Croatia’s most unusual winery close by. The Edivo winery age their red wine at 20 metres below the surface of the Adriatic, providing a unique environment of constant temperature, light and pressure. You can dive to the underwater winery and collect your very own bottle of sunken treasure!
Whilst you are here, why not try one of the traditional Croatian dishes, Ispod peke which translates as under the lid or under the bell.
Cooked in an open fireplace, hot coals and embers are placed on the lid of a metal dome dish to slow cook whatever is decided to be placed inside.
Locally you can find fish, lamb & octopus cooked this way. You will need to prebook as it takes around 5 hours but the result is delicious!
