Had dinner here last night, what an amazing experience! Our two human hosts were incredibly entertaining and I laughed so much I had tears in my eyes! It was the 2 canine hosts stole my though. The place is breathtaking and has definitely been the highlight of my trip so far. Thankyou so much for an amazing and memorable experience!!
This place exceeded my expectations based on reviews I read. We were really impressed with this family operation - farm to table. Exquisite, serene & most enchanting scenery with great wine & food. Dorian was super pleasant.
We showed up at Hora without a reservation and were able to enjoy the wine tasting and appetizer platter. It’s such a beautiful space in nature, the wines were delicious and the staff were welcoming and friendly and you can tell they enjoy their job. If you can, try to schedule in advance to try their traditional peka, we were not able to try but it looked and smelled delicious.
We came here for lunch and I have to say this was the best experience and food we have had in Croatia. Chris welcomed us to this beautiful vineyard and gave us an amazing table looking out to the fields. There was a lovely breeze which was needed in this weather. When we sat down they gave us the most delicious platter of home made breads that they make on site with exquisite olive oil to dip in alongside, cheese, salamis, and olives. Everything homegrown. Next we had the softest meat cooked over a fire with potatoes and a fresh salad. They also made grilled chicken and chips for the kids. This was divine. We ate everything. Next we cleaned our palate with fresh watermelons, figs and grapes. Every dish was severed with their wine they make there which was some of the best I have had since being here. After we went to the shop and treated ourselves to some wine, lavender and olive oil to take home. Please done think twice about going here, it’s truly an amazing experience and you will not be disappointed. Thank you again Chris and to everyone who made our time there so special.
All I can say: Wow!!!! It was an exceptional experience During our trip to Hvar, we visited Hora Hvar farm. It’s an agricultural estate where olives, grapes, lavender, and other crops are grown. There is also an on-site restaurant that serves local dishes made from farm-grown ingredients. We took part in an olive oil and wine tasting, along with traditional local appetizers. We also had the chance to walk through the fields and learn more about the farm’s history and cultivation methods. It’s recommended to plan the visit in advance, as some activities require prior booking.
100% recommended! Went there for my birthday and had the meat peka! The food was incredible, the wine also very nice and the atmosphere was just superb! They produce most of their products, so it's really authentic. The guys are super friendly and the vibe on the sunset between the vineyards makes it just perfect! Book in advance for the peka, it's a must!
Cash only! We booked morning of and got a table. They were so nice and chill. We arrived via taxi not tourist bus. We showed up with no cash and they drove us to the nearest ATM and gave us wine for free while half of our friends went to get cash. We were able to walk around freely. Pet the dogs. Walk through the kitchen to see what they were cooking.
If you are ever in Stari Grad, this vineyard is a must! A perfect place to relax and seek cover from the sun. We had the wine tasting experience which comes with some appetizers! The wine was very tasty and the snacks were delicious! We would have loved to have the lunch but unfortunately we didn’t book in advance! Also the service were very friendly and attentive 100% will go again!
