The 5th Wine, Olive & Heritage Festival
The 5th Wine, Olive & Heritage Festival 2024 will take place for the fifth time in Jelsa on the island of Hvar on May 24th and 25th, 2024. This year’s event will span two days, showcasing local participants and promoting the culture of the island of Hvar on multiple levels. The primary focus is on promoting local wines and olive products from the island of Hvar in collaboration with festival guests. The festival is intended for both local and international tourists, with the aim of promoting local Hvar producers within the concept of the “Mediterranean diet,” which encompasses a “set of knowledge and skills about a careful approach to natural resources of land and sea important for food availability, quality of living space, and a stable ecological system.”

The idea of the festival is for it to be created by local people with their products and ideas, their desire for collective progress, and to learn something new along with guest participants. The festival strives to promote “the best of Hvar” on an entertaining and educational level. The official hashtags are: #najbojeodHvara #JelsaWOH
The festival is held under the patronage of the Ministry of Regional Development and EU Funds, funded by the promotion of the Croatian Island Product (HOP) with producers who bear the HOP mark. On Friday and Saturday evenings, there will be a music program and tastings of Hvar wines, olive oils, local products, and Mediterranean food and delicacies offered by restaurants, taking place in Jelsa Park from 7 PM onwards. The exceptionally rich eno-gastronomic offerings will bring you closer to Hvar’s culture and heritage through colors, scents, and flavors.
On Friday, starting at 7 PM in the park, there will be an ART&WINE workshop, which does not require registration, and you can join at any time. On Saturday, May 25th, there will be a handmade pottery workshop, also starting at 7:00 PM. The event partner is Split-Dalmatia County.
