Croatia Yacht Charter-Of Wines and Oysters

Chantal Maxwell2018-11-12T12:22:14+00:00

Cruise southern Croatia on a private yacht charter and enjoy boutique award winning wines and fresh oysters just plucked out of the water. Croatia is emerging as a boutique wine producing country with award winning wines being produced. And Shell Farms growing oysters are popping up in bays where brackish water as the growing ground is felt to provide the best flavor in these erudite mollusks. Great wines and fresh oysters, for a wine and oyster lover, enjoying both while cruising Croatia on a crewed yacht charter in an extra bonus.

Many of the wines locally produced by boutique Croatian wineries will never be tasted outside of the area or off the island where the wine is produced, as the boutique batches are so small and the locals so knowledgeable about great wines, that the vintages never last long enough for a bottle to be exported. Some varietals at these boutique wineries are sold out to locals in the know long before the grapes are even picked.
