Svirče

One of Hvar's more interesting villages, Svirče is best known for its excellent wines, and its rosé was once the most important wine on Hvar.  Leading the way is Vinarija Carić - whose marketing director is the current president of the Hvar Wine Association - and the Svirče Wine Cooperative.

There is a delightful old part of the village up the hill, as well as the excellent Kod None restaurant.

Many visitors to Svirče are drawn by the unusual church at the entrance to the village, a unique structure certainly to Hvar, and perhaps Dalmatia.  Others are drawn by another less advertised attraction, the weekly concerts at the rather surreal motorbike club opposite the church.
