Vino: Korčulanska enološka baština

Korčula je poznata kao “vinski otok” i dom je autohtonih sorti koje ne možete pronaći nigdje drugdje, poput grka i pošipa. Dok je vino prisutno na svakom hrvatskom otoku, korčulanska vina izdvajaju se kvalitetom i jedinstvenošću. Kušanje ovih vina uz pogled na vinograde uz more jedno je od najposebnijih iskustava koje Korčula nudi.

 

Što čini Korčulu posebnijom od ostalih otoka?

Iako Vis nudi opuštajuću atmosferu, a Hvar je poznat po svom noćnom životu, Korčula je idealna za posjetitelje koji dolaze u Hrvatsku prvi put i žele raznolik doživljaj. Otok ima bogatu kulturnu povijest, brojne aktivnosti i gastronomsku scenu koja kombinira tradicionalna jela i jedinstvena vina.

Bilo da biciklirate uz vinograde, sudjelujete u fascinantnom plesu moreške, istražujete skrivene plaže ili uživate u Michelinovim restoranima i tradicionalnim konobama, Korčula ima ponešto za svakoga.

Doživljaji koji ostaju u sjećanju

Noći provedene u tapas barovima, kokteli u kuli srednjovjekovnog gradskog zida, vožnja strmim cestama do skrivenih, savršenih plaža – Korčula je otok na kojem se vaša avantura oblikuje prema vašim željama.

Koliko vremena provesti na Korčuli?

Preporučujem boravak od najmanje tri dana kako biste uistinu iskusili sve što otok nudi. Tjedan dana bio bi idealan, pogotovo ako planirate jednodnevne izlete na obližnji Mljet ili Pelješac.

 

Korčula ili Hvar?

Po mom mišljenju, Korčula je daleko bolji izbor od Hvara. Nudi više prirodne ljepote, jeftinija je, manje gužvovita i ima jedinstvenu gastronomsku scenu. Umjesto hvarskih zabava, na Korčuli ćete pronaći mir i autentičan doživljaj Mediterana.

Gdje odsjesti na Korčuli?

Za najbolji doživljaj, preporučujem smještaj u gradu Korčuli, gdje je sve nadohvat ruke, ili u Lumbardi, mirnom primorskom gradiću okruženom vinogradima. Hotel Korčula de la Ville ističe se svojim šarmom i izvrsnom lokacijom.

Korčula nije samo destinacija; ona je jedinstveno iskustvo koje spaja povijest, kulturu i prirodnu ljepotu u savršenom skladu. Doživite čaroliju ovog otoka i otkrijte zašto ga mnogi smatraju neotkrivenim draguljem Jadrana.
