Peljesac and taste of wine

Peljesac Peninsula is the largest peninsula in Dalmatia. It  stretches in the southeast – northwest direction. The position of the peninsula is a prerequisite for the south slopes to receive a large quantity of sun and it is favorable for the cultivation of Plavac mali. The dry terrain is covered with macchia in the north and  it is covered with vineyards, olive and fruit trees in the south. The Peljesac Peninsula is famous in agricultural business, especially in wine making.  Dingac and Postup wine from Peljesac are appreciated throughout Croatia and Peljesac vineyards.

When you come on the Peljesac Peninsula it includes wine tasting.
