Korčula Island is known for its stunning beauty and exceptional white wines. This tour combines both and will give you a chance to experience something that otherwise you could easily miss.
The hike is diverse and not really demanding. However, you will need to walk a few steps up or down a rock and lower your back once or twice. The preserve is a real gem of nature and a highlight of the tour. The winery is a restored family house, with a charming courtyard and indoor seating. A substantial snack is also served.
The wines are excellent and the owners are lovely and friendly. Pošip and Grk are local grapes, unique to the island. Enchanting Forest and Wine tasting, I promise.
On the way back to Korčula, we will take a slightly different route and stop for a few minutes at the viewpoint on the hill above the town. You will feel like you can almost touch the town's red roofs. From there, we will drive to Korčula Bus Station or to your hotel.

What To Expect
We will take a 5-10 min drive to the village of Žrnovo. This village has four neighbourhoods and we will visit the one named Brdo. From there, we will start a 2 - 2.5h easy to moderate hike / walking in the countryside. The views of Pelješac channel will follow us for the first 15 - 20 min. Imagine the waters of the Adriatic in all shades of blue and turquoise, dry stacks made of white stones, green, green, and more green all around.
Kocje
Kočje nature preserve can be easily described as an enchanting forest. Strange rock formations, 20m high evergreen oak trees, moss and fern everywhere around us will leave a strong impression of being in a fairytale. If fairies are real, they have to live in a place like this. From there, an old footpath will take us through the fields and vineyards to another part of Žrnovo village. There, we will taste some magic potions ;-)

An entirely enchanting and off the beaten path experience!

5.00A wonderful experience that my sister and I considered one of the highlights or our time in Croatia! The forest truly is enchanted and not somewhere we would've found or explored on our own. We were the only ones there (except for the fairies of course). The pictures don't do it justice. We also explored a section of the rocky shore and walked to a lovely vineyard with a view of the sea. The wine was delicious and the vintners were charming. But what really made the day was Saša's enthusiasm for this magic corner of the world. We learned so much and made a new friend! So much better than a more touristic tour. Absolutely recommended!!
