ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE
A wine tasting on Korčula is the island experience beyond the old town — a visit to a cellar in one of the wine villages to taste the native Pošip and Grk white wines, with the local olive oil and the seafood of the coast. Pošip is the island’s signature white, grown in the interior, and Grk is the rarer white of the sandy soils at Lumbarda. The cellars are the slow afternoon of a Korčula day.
WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE
What you’ll experience
You drive or ride to one of the wine villages — Lumbarda for Grk, or the interior villages for Pošip — and taste the wines at a cellar with a plate of olive oil, cheese and seafood. The tastings are unhurried, and the cellars often look out over the vineyards or the sea. A ride between the cellars on two wheels is a popular way to do it.
THE EXPERIENCE IN DETAIL
What it’s really like
A wine tasting on Korčula: the native Pošip and Grk white wines at the island cellars, with olive oil, cheese and seafood, and a bike ride between the wine villages.
HIGHLIGHTS
Moments worth savouring
A glass of Pošip, the native white wine of Korčula.
The rarer Grk white of Lumbarda’s sandy soils.
The local olive oil, cheese and seafood with the wine.
A bike ride between the cellars of the interior.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Good to know before you go
The cellars are open through the day in season; outside high season some may be closed, so check ahead. Lumbarda is a short drive from the old town. Bring a designated driver or rent wheels — the island is flat enough to ride between the villages.
WHY IT MATTERS
Why it matters
The wine tasting is the island beyond the old town — the Pošip and Grk that make Korčula a wine destination, and the slow afternoon that rounds out a town morning.
