We had such an amazing time visiting Winery Kovac. Caity and I were picked up, along with 10 others, in Split promptly at 6pm. When we arrived we walked down to a beautiful terrace overlooking Split / grape vines / olive trees (....and you could see the sea too!!) We tasted a fantastic Rosé and noshed on some cheese while we heard amazing stories from Anton (the owner) all about the history of wine in the region and the story of the Zinfandel grape. Then you are driven down to Antons villa for some more educating, drinking, and eating. It was such an amazing evening and one of the best wine tours I have ever experienced.

We had the honor to visit a very small family winery. Vina Perisin. Ivan was adorable and informative. The foods provided complimented the awesome wines. From whites, rose, to my favorite...Red Zinfandel it was all delightful. Then, a surprise dessert brought to us, hot from the oven by his mother. Don't plan anything else...Just experience Ivan, his stories, his food, and of course his great wines. Thank you.

We stopped here after a drive in the mountains. We walked up to the war memorial, very sobering. The views are spectacular, we watched a plane coming in to land at the airport and then suddenly it started raining, heavy rain from the mountains. Definitely worth a drive up there.
