Wines from Pelješac

It is simply impossible to visit the second largest Croatian peninsula without seeing Pelješac vineyards and giving your taste buds the satisfaction of tasting the top-quality wines. Scant soil and hard work of the industrious people of Pelješac have produced famous wines which have made Pelješac a well-known name in the whole world:  “Dingač”, “Postup”, “Plavac” and “Pelješac”. Wines from Pelješac were enjoyed by the Illyrians, Greeks, Romans and Slavs. Emperor Franz Joseph, a wine connoisseur, has written in golden letters on his wine chart the Dalmatian wine from the Dingač area.  The ex-president of the USA used to enjoy the black wine from this area. Join the connoisseurs from Pelješac.

Besides the suites and camps, in Mokalo you will find a restaurant with Dalmatian specialties, a beach bar, a diving centre and a beautiful beach, a crystal-clear sea, a hundred-year-old pine tree forest, and cricket song.
