Wine flotilla, Croatia

In September 2027, Regatta for Friends sets off on a wine journey through Dalmatia.

For a week, we’ll live on yachts, sail between the islands and the coast, swim in the Adriatic, explore small towns and villages, and discover new Dalmatian wines every day.

This trip is for those who want not just to drink good wine, but to understand where it comes from.

Old vines, stony soils, indigenous grape varieties and small family estates. Winemakers who work with what they’ve inherited from previous generations, while also trying to create something of their own.

We’ll meet these people, visit small independent wineries, taste wines where they’re made, and talk not only about how they taste, but about the place, the climate, the grapes, the history, the culture and the people.

Babić, Plavac Mali, Debit, Plavina, Maraština: not just names on a tasting sheet, but part of Dalmatia’s story.

The sea remains the star of the journey.

There will be morning sails, swims in secluded bays, lunches on board (fresh local oysters and mussels paired with Dalmatian wines are definitely worth your attention), little island villages, dinners at local restaurants, walks and long evenings on deck.

And wine will tie it all together into one story.

We want to show you Dalmatia not through tourist postcards, but through the people, places and wines that make this region so special.
