Pelješac Open Cellar Days
Best for
Twice a year, the wineries of Croatia's Pelješac Peninsula — home to the legendary Dingač appellation (Croatia's first protected wine zone, 1962) — open their doors for public tastings of Plavac Mali-based wines. The December edition focuses on new vintage releases in Potomje, the village at the heart of Dingač production. Commandaria-like concentration from sun-baked Plavac Mali on steep karst slopes make these among Croatia's most powerful and collectible wines.
