In Croatia, you can visit an underwater wine cellar

Calling all wine lovers! Edivo Vina offers a new experience to try on vacation, while visiting Croatia:discover a shipwreck transformed into an underwater cave. Based on the Peljesac peninsula, near Dubrovnik, Croatia, the wine producer has decided to store its bottles under the Adriatic Sea and offers the curious the opportunity to visit this epic cellar.

Dive to visit the cellar

After harvesting and bottling, the wine spends three months on land before remaining one to two years under the sea. In a shipwreck submerged 25 m under the sea, the bottles of the Navis Mysterium cuvee are stored in amphorae to prevent salt water from seeping in. Two years later, we recover his amphora, aged by the sea where shells and corals have become encrusted and the wine is ready to be tasted. The producer actually uses a Greek technique used in ancient times to naturally chill wine, improve its quality and give it a pine flavor (yes yes the sea gives wine a pine flavor, weird as that sounds!) . All that remains is to put on your swimsuit and dive in to visit this underwater cave and taste a bottle of Navis Mysterium, (which still costs around 280 euros). All this on the magnificent beaches of Croatia and the turquoise waters of the Adriatic! It makes you dream.
