Chocolate, gin, and beer with the flavors of Hvar Island

Hvar Island is most famous for its 2,400-year-old tradition of wine production, especially the Plavac Mali grape variety, and its remaining indigenous vineyards. However, did you know that we also have our own craft beer and hand-distilled gin with island flavors? Craft beers from Vunetovo Brewery in Hvar have been receiving excellent ratings, although they have a relatively small production, so consider yourself lucky if you get your hands on a bottle while on the island. Hvar Gin HVAR22 s created based on the golden berries of Hvar’s juniper (wild juniper), lavender, and immortelle. The herbs are handpicked from their own plantations and processed in the small Cantun distillery in the village of Svirče. Artisan chocolatier Gamulin in Jelsa will delight you with chocolates infused with flavors of the island, such as lemon, carob, or fig, ukalupljenih u tamnu ili bijelu čokoladu, enveloped in dark or white chocolate. These are by far the best souvenirs you can take home.
