In the courthyard of the Split City Museum this July 5th you can taste Bogdanjuša, from the
Carić winery, the autochthonous Hvar variety. A light, fresh, crispy white wine that was a part
of the religious feasts, as the name suggests. Beleca from the Tomić winery , has a rich and
sweet bouquet. It is produced from Pošip,the most important Dalmatian white variety, and
Bogdanuša. Both varieties create the perfect harmony in which Bogdanuša gives lightness and
freshness, and Pošip gives strength and body. Opolo rosé from Zlatan Otok winery – the most
important red Croatian variety, Plavac Mali, here gives an aromatic, fruity, summer wine. Plavac
2718 from the Duboković winery suggests the name of the number of sunny hours in the year
that the Island of Hvar refeives. The sun and heat are felt in each drop. This beautiful wine will
be followed by the snacks prepared by the Diocletian’s Wine House restaurant. You can also
taste these wines them from July 3 to July 10 in one of Winelife’s partner restaurants.
On July 12 (Split City Museum) , we will enjoy the following wine selection from this sunny island:
Winery Vujnović and his Prč,
Bogdanjuša of winery Pinjata,

HVAR WINE TASTINGS IN JELSA
Join us on Thursdays in Jelsa at Trg Sv. Ivana ( Saint John’ s Square) and discover Hvar – The Island of Wine!
Cerealia comes to Hvar island – 1&2 Sept 2015 – Stari Grad
We are honoured to announce the first in a series of reciprocal visits in cooperation with Italian organizations. This year’s visit to Rome, as part of a tour “Presentation of the island of Hvar, Hvar culture and wine” organized by the Croatian Embassy in Rome, has resulted in cooperation with Festival Cerealia. Cerealia is a festival dedicated to cereal grains such as wheat and barley, and the idea comes from ancient Rome. http://www.cerealialudi.org/
This event promotes the cereals of the Mediterranean basin, and each year includes one partner country, to encourage cultural exchange. This year it is Croatia, in previous years Cyprus, Greece …
Cultural pluralism has been a permanent feature of the Mediterranean since ancient times. The social and economic value of grain is enormous. Cerealia want to spread the knowledge and awareness of the value of the soil and indigenous cultures, to renew ties between the producers and the consumers’ tables, even to revive old customs and traditions, that are based on respect for the earth and its fruits.
Cerealia will continue their cooperation with Croatia this year by visiting the island of Hvar. In Stari Grad on trg Škor, 01.09.2015 (Tuesday) there will be a number of different cultural entertainment events.
At 8 pm we will have a performance by dance theatre M.Th.I. http://www.mthi.it/ called Four Elements, with Paola Sarcina (artistic director of the Festival Ceralia), Diana Forlani and Stefania Toscano. The event continues with an exhibition of the art of bread prepared by the legendary Roman bakery “Panella, l’arte del pane“, where visitors will be able to see bread made in the shape of famous Roman monuments such as the “La Bocca della Verità”.
Afterwards, there will be Tasting of Hvar wines, accompanied by a musical performance by Rade Šolaja.
On the second day, 02.09.2015 (WEDNESDAY), the exhibition of bread will move to the Agency for the Management of the Stari Grad Plain, where it will be on show until 17.09.2015, along with an exhibition of photographs of Roman villas of the Stari Grad Plain. The opening of the two exhibitions will be marked by a presentation by archaeologist Mark Matković called “Wine and wine-growing on the island of Hvar in ancient times”. The Agency Director Francesco Duboković dipl.ing.agr. and our guest Paola Sarcina, artistic director of the Festival Ceralia will tell us more about the two exhibitions.
Hvar is undoubtedly the Island of Wines, for more than 24 centuries, as the president of the “Hvar winemakers” Ivana Krstulović Caric, dipl.ing will tell us.
At this event, get to know the period of Roman rule and their customs related to bread and wine!
Welcome! Dobrodošli!

Our next event will be 5 August 2015 in Dol (Dol St. Anne) at the PUHIJADE , a multi-day festival organized by Dol’s “Tartajun” Association.

Discover the attractions of this Hvar village, one of the oldest settlements on the island, which hides the legend of the Illyrian Queen Teuta and maintains the oldest vineyard of Plavac mali in Croatia.
Dol is tucked away on the wooded slopes of the northern side of the island, amidst terraces of olive groves and vineyards with a light sandy soil. The Dol slopes overlook the Stari Grad bay and fields (known as Ager or Hora) and following the road to the top of the island, you can enjoy the centuries-old forest of indigenous oak. Dol consists of two villages, known as Dol St. Anne and Dol St. Mary. Archaeological remains in the area testify to people living here from prehistoric times!
Nearby can be found the Illyrian hill “Purkin kuk”, the ancient Roman villa rustica Kupinovik, and the continuity of life in Dol is demonstrated by the medieval church of St. Domnius, dating from the 11th century.
Find us in Dol St. Anne and enjoy Hvar wines and live music!
