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\">Reise dit og sammenkobling av turen<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For a base, read <a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/nb\/blog\/where-to-stay-hvar-2026\/\">v\u00e5r guide til overnatting<\/a>.
