Vinarija Plenkovic, Hvar

A beautiful stone restaurant that allows you to sample the various award winning wines. In between tastings step through one of the windows to catch some sun or go for a swim. A great place to spend the day.

Favorite Dish: Be sure to sample their prosec. A majority of prosec served in restaurants in watered down and added sugar. Prosec should be a deep red / brown (almost like a cream sherry) and slightly heavy.

Famous wine producer Zlatan Plenkovic built this unusual structure. It serves both as marina for small boats and as restaurant with special emphasis on wine tasting.

They were brave to build special underwater cellar, but due to technical problems, it is still not serving it's purpose. You can go down and have a look, but the glass window into the sea got greenish from algae.

Excellent wines, worth spending a lazy afternoon there, just make sure the driver is a strong character - new law in Croatia allows No Alcohol at all to be found in driver's blood. So don't eat too much ripe fruit either.
