Agroturizam Bire (2013)

Driving through Grk vineyards in Lumbarda

Remembering an August evening drive through vineyards below Lumbarda will keep my mood up even in most depressing winter months. The narrow roads winding through the vineyards look like a path in a natural maze made of green walls, so you can easily get lost. More on Croatia's only independent food and wine guide:

Croatia Sailing Trip | Part 5 | Vela Luka

In this part of our sailing trip, We moored the boat in Korčula dock marina, went to Vela Luka and visited some wineries including bire winery in Lombarda, some wine tasting and bottle sipping with snacks, top of the mountains ride and back to the Korčula marina which its visit will be published next.

-Vela Luka is a small town and a municipality in Dubrovnik-Neretva County in southern Dalmatia, Croatia. The town is located on the western side of the island of Korčula at the bottom of a wide bay which has many indented coves. Vela Luka developed at the beginning of the 19th century in a deep sheltered bay. Its name means big harbour in Croatian chakavian. Inhabitants of the Island of Korčula and Pelješac often refer to it simply as Luka (the port/harbour). It has several hotels and a medical centre called Kalos (for rheumatic disorders and rehabilitation). The inhabitants are farmers, fishermen and workers in tourism. Also the town has other smaller industrial plants.

It has an average of over 2500 hours of sunny weather annually, and is the second largest place, in size, on the Adriatic islands. The diversity and richness of the cultural inheritance of Vela Luka can be seen in the exceptional museums and galleries that are located in the Center for Culture in the town center. The Center for Culture is located in the building that was constructed for school needs in the second half of the 19th century, so the building itself has historical significance. It is located near the Parish Church of St. Joseph. Together they create a magnificent urban structure in the typical Mediterranean spirit.
The museum/gallery is decorated with mosaics made in 1968 when the International Artist's Meeting of Painters was held in Vela Luka.
Vela Luka has many archaeological and architectural points of interest. On the south slope of the hill, Pinski Rat, there is an extraordinary archaeological site. It is called Vela Spila (Big Cave) and it is one of the most important prehistoric cave dwellings in Europe. Vela Spila provides a picture of life on the Mediterranean of Mesolithic and Neolithic people living in that region. Carbon dating has shown that there was human activity going back 20 000 years. The finds are on display at the Center for Culture in Vela Luka. The cave's interior measures approximately 1500 sq. meters and it is located several hundred meters above the beautiful Vela Luka Bay. Another panoramic view of the area can be seen from Hum Hill and the Forteca, an Austro-Hungarian fortress built in the 19th century. Vela Luka has a rich history of Klapa singing (an a cappella style). One of the best known is the Klapa Ošjak.

Grk Cebalo 1998.

Branimir Cebalo, the first commercial wine producer from Lumbarda, explains the specificities of this grape variety that grows from sandy soil and is cultivated only in this part of the world. Grk as such survived phyloxera that attacked most of the varieties at the beggining of the last century. Grk as a female flower needs a polinator to devellop properly and is thus always cultivated with Plavac Mali, another Croatian indigenous grape. Yields of Grk are low, from 1kg to 1,5kg, what contributes to high qualitiy of wine.

Visiting Grk Winery - Lumbarda

Korčula in 4k - Croatia | Pointers Travel / Kroatien / Insel Korcula /

Korčula in 4k
Korčula enchants the senses with its timeless beauty and casts an everlasting spell of wonder on those who tread upon its ancient stone.
The Moreška sword dance in Korčula town, as well as the sword dances of Kumpanija and Moštra in Čara, Pupnat and Žrnovo are as much rooted in the history and soul of the island, as are the brotherhoods which bind the community.
Immerse yourself in Korčula's narrow walkways and discover beautifully adorned palaces and elegant houses; while in the evening, follow the fading light to reveal a glorious Adriatic sunset.

Top 5 things to see and do in Korčula:
5. Lumbarda sandy beach (Vela Pržina beach): the most popular beach on Korčula, Vela pržina translated into English means great sandy beach. The beach can be found on the southern side of the eastern cape of Korčula and is the most crowded beach on Korčula.
4. Dupin Dive Centre Koručula: experience the breath-taking beauty of the Korčula marine life. Dive around the wrecks of Boca and Garda as well as the beautiful cavern on the south side of the island. For more info, visit their official website:
3. Marco Polo exhibition: Watch Marko Polo embark on a journey from Korčula, see him in a desert caravan, follow him to the palace of the famous Mongolian emperor Kublai Khan in one of the seven exhibition halls bringing to life his adventures with outstanding set design and realistic figures.
2. Wineries in Korčula: you have to enjoy the autochtonous white wine native do Dalmatia and Korčula. Take our word for it, you won't regret it.

1. City sword dance - Moreška: Performed only by males from Korčula town families, the mock battle dance with each soldier holding two swords is traditionally performed on July 29 (St. Theodore's Day) and weekly during the summer. Documentation shows that the Moreška sword dance has been performed in Korčula since at least the 17th century, but the dance may be older, since double swords were known sword technique in the 16th century.
Dramatic dialogue sets the context for the Red and Black armies to battle for return of Bula, who was abducted by the Moro (Arab) King. Clashing and sparking swords in seven battles end with the bula being freed from her chains and returned to her beloved Osman (Turkish) King.

Historically, the accompaniment for Moreška was based on the musical fashion of its time, since the city of Korčula was in accord with European cultural trends. Today a brass band plays a 20th century arrangement composed by Krsto Odak.

Consider this video a preview of everything Korčula has to offer! For best experience you'll have to visit it yourself ;)
