Secrets of Brac and Solta - Off the Beaten Track Croatia

In the port of Milna on Brac is a wine bar called Vinoretum. It's run by the amazing Keno Ramic and there you will find a marvellous selection of stunning Croatian wines. Keno's enthusiasm for his country's wines knows no bounds and he is an absolutely fabulous host. I spent all my working life in the wine business but never came across Croatian wines to any great extent. Now I have! Big time!! Vinoretum is a franchise and unfortunately that does not allow Keno to serve wine by the glass. But he'll open a bottle you might fancy for a taster as long as you go on and drink it all! And pay for it!!! He serves cold meets and cheeses if you so desire or maybe some anchovies or other small fish. If you're on B ray go and see Keno

After much searching but without a definite plan my family and I decided we wanted to island hop in Croatia by boat one day. Running out of time on our vacation I contacted Toni via WhatsApp when the site wouldn’t allow me to book with my foreign credit card. He was extremely delightful and helpful which secured my decision in booking with his company. I booked the Hvar + the secrets of Solta and Brac at the last minute so there weren’t many slots or boats available but he pulled some strings and got us a great boat and skipper for the day. We were staying outside of Split on the harbor in Kastela Sucurac and he told us he could just pick us up there!!!! Which meant we didn’t have to taxi into split! What amazing guest service! Our Skipper Blaz picked us up and he was awesome from the start! He had water and other drinks for us waiting. We were with my parents so they insisted he drive slower lol. He constantly was checking on them and making small talk with my dad. The ride was beautiful out to all of the islands. The secret beach in Brac was incredible as there were only 5 other people on the beach. In Solta we had mojitos from the floating mojito bar and swam in the crystal blue waters. Hvar was nice to walk around and have breakfast right on the water as we docked. I would do this tour all over again. The boat itself was both nice and comfortable and Blaz kept us laughing the whole time! We had so much fun with him...thank you Toni, Blaz, and the whole Tamaris family...we can’t wait to come back!

Best girl party ever! Wonderful boat, superb service, adrenaline rides, beautiful bays! Very nice organized excursion, with full understanding from the crew, with good atmosphere and music! All recommendations!
