This place is great. It has a selection of fantastic wines they produce which you can taste upon request. It's run by a couple of knowledgeable, friendly, and beautiful women. The unique part is the place is maritime themed. They produce a couple of wines which are stored and aged under the sea for up to two years - an interesting process that is fun to learn about. You can purchase bottles that have been through the aging process and have the marine life remnants (like shells) attached to the bottle now. Not only is the wine great to drink, but you can display the bottle well after consumption and have an everlasting conversation piece.

I loved coming here, it is a beautiful winery. Definitely a must see when visiting Janjina. The sour cherry liqueur and mirta liqueur were my favorites, I would definitely recommend it! Also, the girl working there was very nice, talking to her was such a pleasure, and she was the prettiest girl I had see during my visit in Croatia.

Matusko Winery

Peninsula Peljesac, the oasis of black wines, has been visited by many tourists and lovers of good drops in recent years. Walking along the Peljesac landscapes, the unavoidable destinations are the vineyards, taverns and wineries that are all connected to each other accidentally or intentionally. However, one of them is distinguished by its quality, knowledge and perseverance. From a small wine cellar visited by a small number of tourists, Winery MATUSKO in Potomja is transformed into one of the largest and most famous destination of winemakers from all over the world where Wine expert Mato Violic Matusko, presents and offers top quality autonomous wines from the Peljesac region and the Dubrovnik-Neretva County. At the winery Matusko there are currently thirteen wine labels, six of which are quality, one sparkling wine, one archive and five top wines. Visiting this winery remains an everlasting experience that will be restored again with each glass of Matusko wine.

Wine that we tasted was lovely and we bought 2 bottles. Wonderful to find there were enormous old & atmospheric cellars below. Where you could house a village. Apparently the first week in December you buy a glass and then can stay and drink as much wine as you like...

Winery Rizman

The Rizman winery once again started its production in 2006, skipping an entire generation of the Štimac family. A new vineyard was planted in new locations, the necessary infrastructure was built and a completely new winegrowing region was created in Croatia. The Štimac family is the first investor and ideological initiator of the new winegrowing region, which includes more than 80 hectares of vine plants in 2012. After planting the vine plants and constructing the infrastructure, which includes a private water spring, a winery with modern equipment was also built in the vineyard. It bears the name Rizman in memory of the first winemaker in the Štimac family. All our future agricultural products will also be presented with that name and logo. The best known member of the Štimac family is Igor, a former member of the Croatian national football team, who won third place in the World Championship in France in 1998 together with the rest of the Croatian team.

If there is one thing you should do when staying in and around the Makarska riviera it's to visit the beautiful Baćina Lakes and find your balance on a paddle board. SUP Safari is the perfect way to see these lakes and go to all the places you can only get to from the water, the guys from paddle surf Croatia are friendly, good fun and know the lakes inside and really do provide you with an experience you won't forget, I already can't wait to go back. Thanks to Ivan and Matija :)

We visited Vino Spaleta whilst on holiday in Dubrovnik. Situated in the beautiful village of Kuna, it is just under a 2 hour drive from Dubrovnik and definitely worth a visit! We had been to two other more famous wineries in the Peljesac peninsula beforehand and found that Vino Spaleta were the friendliest and most welcoming.
We opted for the cheese and wine tasting which included 3 wines and a brandy tasting. All were of excellent quality and by far the best prices we had seen all day. The owners of the winery themselves were very friendly and sat with us during the tasting, explaining the process and even their family history - which is extremely impressive. We were welcome to stay as long as we liked and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. We consider it one of the highlights of our holiday and would definitely recommend a visit!
