About the Event
Stone has been an inspiration for so many in Croatia. It is a nation with a troubled history, but one blessed with the bounty of vineyards and olive groves thriving and stretching as far as the eye can see.
Stina's vineyards on the island are in the most extreme locations. It is difficult to understand how the vines were first planted, let alone lovingly maintained and harvested. In places, the gradient reaches 70% with vines planted at up to 500m above sea level. These premium slopes - skeletal, stony, south-facing, with maximum exposure to the sun and the sea breezes - is the environment in which Dalmatia's flagship red grape, Plavac Mali, thrives.
