Highlights

If there’s one moment that truly captures the spirit of Hvar, it’s when you sit beneath an olive tree, breathe in the scent of the land, and taste the oil made right there, by hand. Our olive oil tasting tour is more than just a tasting. It’s a quiet escape into nature, tradition, and a way of life that still lives on this island.

Experience

The experience begins with our two-hour Heritage Tour of Hvar, where we take you through the island’s inner landscapes and introduce you to stories that never make it into guidebooks. We pass through old stone roads, small villages, olive groves and vineyards, stopping at places that are silent, authentic and full of character. It’s a relaxed and personal way to understand the real Hvar before we even arrive at the tasting.

Then we reach the olive grove. But this isn’t just any grove. It’s a living archive with over three hundred varieties of olives from around the world, each planted with care and intention. Here you’ll meet Toma, the host and olive grower who doesn’t tell you what he’s memorized but shares what he’s lived. He knows every tree, every season, and every step of the process that turns olives into golden oil.

The tasting takes place exactly where it should – outdoors, among the trees, far from the noise. You’ll sit in the shade, talk freely, and taste slowly. Each oil is different, with its own character, and you’ll learn how to recognize those subtle notes like never before. If the moment calls for it, a bottle of local wine might open, maybe a few homemade bites appear, but everything stays relaxed and real.

There’s no script here. No performance. Everything happens naturally, in the moment, and always a bit differently – just like life in a place where nature sets the rhythm.

Itinerary

Napoleon Fortress
The journey begins high above the town of Hvar, at the Napoleon Fortress. From this peaceful spot, the island opens up before you, a panoramic view that captures its true character. Take a moment to soak it in. The silence, the wind, and the view will tell you more than words ever could.

Lavender Fields
From the heights, the tour continues through the lavender fields that cover the hillsides in soft purple. Surrounded by dry stone walls and the scent of the Mediterranean, you’ll discover the agricultural roots of Hvar. It’s a landscape that still lives in harmony with tradition.

Velo Grablje
In the hills above the sea lies Velo Grablje, a quiet village that once echoed with life. Today, it stands proud in its simplicity, stone houses, narrow alleys, and stories hidden behind every shutter. As you walk through the village, you’ll get a sense of the island’s rhythm in times long gone.

Stari Grad
The final stop is Stari Grad, one of the oldest towns in Europe. Here, ancient history meets everyday life. Walk its cobbled streets, touch the old walls, and breathe in the scent of pine and salt carried by the breeze. Every corner tells a story, from the Greeks to the present day.

Why Choose This Tour?

Genuine Local Insight
This isn’t just a guided tour. It’s an encounter with people who live the island every day. The stories you’ll hear come from experience, not a script.

Authentic and Personal
We keep things simple and focused. No rushing, no crowds. Just time to truly take in what you’re seeing and hearing.

Heritage You Can Feel
Hvar is home to six UNESCO-protected elements of cultural heritage. On this tour, you won’t just visit them, you’ll understand what makes them so valuable, and how they still shape life on the island today.

Book Your Heritage Experience

Step into the quieter side of Hvar and spend a day discovering its true character, not just through places, but through the people, stories and moments that stay with you long after the tour ends.

We also offer a shorter version of this experience. After visiting the key highlights, enjoy a relaxed tasting at a local winery in either Jelsa or Hvar. A glass of wine, some local flavours, and a view of the island, the perfect way to end the day.
