Top Hvar Dining Experiences

Beautiful experience enjoying a delicious dinner sampling a variety of local dishes on a farm in Stari Grad.

Great job very informative and fun. We learned about the culture and history of the island and life of the people. Our guide was born on the island and has a passion for her job. Loved it.

Such a once in a lifetime experience! We spent the afternoon cooking and learning about the ancient island ways of life. The hosts were all so warm and inviting teaching us so much about their ancestors and their current life practices. The food was also amazing made with such fresh ingredients. Highly highly recommend a visit to Terra Arhaica!!!

Well worth the price for individual tour, great experience

Absolutely amazing trip . We were a little nervous we could do it as we are a little older and it’s very hilly - and was super hot . But the lovely young guy was so helpful and patient explaining the route and how to use the e bikes . Spent a long time answering every silly question we had . The trip is so worth the hills - and with the assisted power makes it an option for all . Highly recommended . Bikes fantastic too. Wine tasting stunning . Perfect trip to see the other side of the beautiful Island of Hvar

Great time! Very helpful guys in the bike shop, high quality e-bikes, beautiful ride, excellent wine tasting and charcuterie

At Terra Arhaica, a local family’s ancestral home, we were welcomed like old friends. The experience was much more than just a meal — it was an intimate window into traditional Croatian life. As we sat within the stone buildings that have stood for generations, the family shared stories about their heritage, their farming practices, and the deep relationship they’ve maintained with the land over centuries.The meal itself was a true celebration of that connection. Course after course showcased local ingredients prepared in time-honored ways — homemade bread, olive oil pressed from their own trees, fresh vegetables from their garden, and slow-cooked dishes that reflected the flavors and rhythms of island life. Everything was prepared and served with genuine love and pride, and you could feel the family’s joy in sharing not just their food, but their history and way of life. It was the kind of authentic, heartfelt experience that stays with you long after the trip is over.

My family and I had the absolute pleasure of attending a private dinner at Poje Hvar. It was truly an exceptional experience! Kornelija and her daughter Morana are warm, gracious hosts who gave us a tour of the property and gardens. The farm to table meal was incredible from start to finish. We started with a sampling of homemade, flavored spirits. We enjoyed an amazing spread of goat cheese, olives, and a basil spread that was out of this world! A delicious eggplant dish, pasta and octopus entree to follow. And to complete the incredible meal was the best cake I've ever tasted! The view and setting were breathtaking!

With little forward planning on my behalf; I contacted Hvar Life with a view to hiring a road bike for a solo or guided ride. They suggested that I go along and see them. We discussed the options,we agreed I would do a solo road ride with the route supplied by HL. As it was a last minute decision I was badly prepared. HL really helped with everything; they went above and beyond. The quality of the bike was perfect and in excellent condition as was all the kit. Their service is outstanding and above all else professional. The route was prepared with a good mix of climbing and took in some of the best views. Very highly recommend!

One of the best bike rental shops we have ever experienced in Europe. Riccardo is an expert with bikes and fitting. We rented road bikes for four days. Very high quality bikes, Cannondale Synapse, with Ultegra Di2 components. Disc brakes. Proper climbing gears. Perfect! He took a lot of time to fit the bikes to our size and needs. The bikes are in excellent condition, smooth shifting, powerful breaks with minimal effort. Just couldn't be better! He gave us very helpful info on roads to cycle throughout the island. Communication prior to our arrival was great. Highly recommend!

Absolutely incredible experience. Luca is a real passionate, he know all the right cycle paths and gave me great advises. I highly recommend !

Tea was a wonderful guide who put the focus of the tour on traditional Hvar as opposed to commercial. The wine tasting was fantastic and local but the quality was on a global scale. Lunch was in the most stunning setting and it was our first opportunity to try Peka, which we cannot recommend enough. Everything about both experiences exceeded expectations.As a tour guide, Tea was incredible. She posses all the information you’d hope a tour guide would and she is very intelligent and engaging. She was able to help us understand the complex history of politics and people and how that history manifests itself today. She was honest, passionate to teach, and curious to learn - I have no doubt her tours will only continue to surpass people’s expectations.

Just brilliant and such a fun day. The e-bikes were easy to use and the map straight forward to follow. The views were spectacular and we loved the wine tasting. Definitely recommend.

Such an amazing way to see Hvar. Definitely the highlight of the trip! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Great way to experience the island

The scenery is amazing. Wine great. Dinner fantastic. Tea and Danny superb!!! Was not sure about the experience however turned out to be a highlight of our vacation!!!

We loved this! The history and authenticity (as well as food) was excellent. We could all imagine how laborious life was not long ago...Even for a simple cup of coffee.
