Wine, but
make it social.
Wine tastings, winery visits, and dinners with winemakers — based in Split, but the wine takes us further.
Hi! I’m Jules!
I created The Wine Woman because I wanted wine to feel more social, less intimidating, and more about people than knowledge. What started as a personal idea has grown into a community where everyone is welcome at the table.
Experiences
-
The Wine Club is a social club for people who want good wine without the pressure. Monthly tastings, a new spot each time, a bottle to take home, and 15% off other experiences.
Join The Wine Club -
Sip Pomalo is a relaxed, two-hour Croatian wine tasting held every Tuesday and Wednesday (May-September) at Paradiso Bar in Old Town Split. Join an open table for seven Croatian wines, a signature cold plate from Chops Grill, and stories behind the bottles — the perfect aperitivo before your Split evening begins.
Start with a welcome glass of sparkling wine, then taste six more in three side-by-side rounds, comparing styles to discover what you actually enjoy. Every wine comes from a winery your host has visited or a winemaker she's met personally, so you get real context, not a lecture.
Pomalo (poh-MAH-loh) is Dalmatian for take it easy — and that's exactly the mood.Book a Tasting
Private tastings can also be arranged for your group.
Get in Touch -
Intimate, seated dinners where guests meet the wine and the winemakers behind each pour. A six-course menu paired with six carefully chosen wines, stories unfolding over every plate. A private room, a shared table, and an evening you won’t forget.
Check Upcoming Events for the Next One. -
Follow the wine, find the real Croatia. Private winery visits are available now, tailored to you — think slow days, beautiful vineyards, and a closer look at how your favorite wines come to life. It's wine, but in its natural setting.
Get in touch to plan your visit(s).
Group winery visits are on the way too, so stay tuned if you'd rather join a small group than go it alone. Check Upcoming Events for updates. -
Want an experience designed just for you? Tell me what you're after. Maybe a relaxed afternoon, maybe a deep dive into one region, or maybe a full multi-day route. I'll help you plan it.
Depending on how you like to travel, I'm either your Experience Host, joining you every step of the way, or your Trip Planner, working it all out in advance and connecting you with a guide or driver I trust. You can also mix the two, with me joining you for some parts of the trip and arranging the rest in advance. I've lived in Croatia for more than six years now, and I've worked with dozens of guides, drivers, and operators along the way. I only recommend the ones I'd book again myself. That means you're getting real stories, not a script.
Already tried planning your trip with ChatGPT or another AI tool? Send it my way. AI is a decent starting point, but it doesn't know the wineries worth your time, or which guide will make your day feel personal instead of rehearsed. I'll take that first draft and shape it into something built around you.
Beyond wine, think of me as your local contact while you're in Croatia. That's something an app just can't offer once you're actually here. Need a restaurant recommendation? Help planning a day trip? Advice on getting around? I'm just a message away for all of it, from a private tasting to a trip out to the vineyards to finding the best seafood or a good traditional Croatian dish. You'll be able to reach me the whole time you're here.
Starting with a blank page or something an AI already put together, either way, book a free consultation and let's talk through your trip. I'll help you make it your own.

What People Are Saying
“We took a tour with the Wine Woman to Pelješac and it was one of the best wine-related experiences of my life. She knew all the people there, everything was planned and organised by the minute, and her team was professional and attentive. Our focus was only enjoy, all the rest was taken care of. Wish I could repeat it a thousand times!
Keep it up, Jules.”

Whether someone is a seasoned sommelier or just beginning their wine journey, she has a way of making every guest feel understood, welcomed, and completely taken care of. Go for it! :)”
