Hvar Winemakers' Association

The Hvar Winemakers' Association was established on May 30th, 2010 in Jelsa. Since then, we have worked together in promoting our island as a wine destination, and providing a focus for discussion and negotiations on important issues for wine production on Hvar.

"We believe that it's important in the first instance, to create a strong local market, as that will have the biggest impact on demand within the rest of Croatia, and worldwide. Visitors to the island fall in love with the wines of Hvar, raising demand for them as they return to their own home area. In this way, wine tourism provides us with the easiest entry into new markets. My task is to connect the individual links of wine tourism, forging a strong chain that will convert the island of Hvar into Hvar Island of Wine. We have high hopes of developing modern communication channels with consumers, such as social networks and other internet platforms, as well as through direct contact with lovers of Hvar wines by organizing street events and participating in trade fairs."
