Underwater winery opened in Croatia

Croatia’s first underwater winery was opened in the Peljesac Peninsula, between Ston and Orepic. The winery offers 700 days matured wines to the guests under the sea.

The bottles are protected internally by a cork and two layers of rubber, and are arranged in cages and secured with padlocks to prevent theft. In addition to wine from amphorae, there are also wine bottles that are ‘aged’ in the Adriatic sea. The sunken boat is used as an underwater cellar and it keeps the amphorae for 700 days at a temperature of 15 to 17 degrees.
