Dingač Vineyards

Dingač

Croatia's first protected wine appellation, where steep vineyards run down to the sea and produce the rich red wine Plavac Mali.

Dingač lies on the south slope of the Pelješac Peninsula, south of the village of Potomje. Its vineyards cling to slopes of about 45 degrees, reaching right down to the sea. Sunlight and reflections off the water produce the full-bodied red Plavac Mali. In 1961, Dingač became Croatia's first protected wine region. To reach the seaside slopes, you pass through the single-lane Dingač Tunnel in Potomje. Several wineries in Potomje and the surrounding area offer tastings, so reservations are recommended. The vineyards are about 20 km from Orebić.
