The red wines there are best in the soft light of late afternoon. You do not need a designated driver, because the skipper drives. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/it\/taxi-boat\/split-to-hvar\/\">Barche Hvar<\/a> run wine-day charters, and you can bring wine cases home in the boat cabin, not in the airline hold. <a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/it\/contact\/\">Richiedi l&#039;itinerario della giornata dedicata al vino<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Suggerimento dello skipper #2:<\/strong> September is harvest month (the time when grapes are picked). The cellars are busy, but the mood is great. Several family producers will let you watch the grape crushing if you ask politely. Buy a case to say thank you. June is a quiet time for wine fans: menus are full, there are no queues, and winemakers have time to talk.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Getting_there_and_pairing_the_trip\">Come arrivare e abbinare il viaggio<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For a base, read <a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/it\/blog\/where-to-stay-hvar-2026\/\">la nostra guida su dove alloggiare<\/a>.
