/2 dobrodošli! welcome!

Dragi gosti i čitatelji, dobro došli na stranice prvog broja Sun Gardens Magazina. S obzirom na to da je 2017. godina za nas puna noviteta, zaključili smo da je ovo najbolji trenutak za pokretanje časopisa, kako bismo sve te informacije podijelili s vama. Početkom godine Dubrovački Vrtovi Sunca postali su dio grupacije The Leading Hotels of the World. Također, ovo je prva sezona da smo započeli sa svojim sportskim akademijama. Kroz naš i vaš Sun Gardens Magazine željeli bismo sudjelovati u stvaranju doživljaja pravog odmora, koji će vam ostati u nezaboravnom sjećanju. Nadamo se da će vam teme koje smo pripremili poslužiti kao inspiracija.

Dear guests and readers, welcome to the first Sun Gardens Maga- zine. As 2017 brings us many novelties, we think that this is the best moment to start a magazine to share all this information with you. At the beginning of this year, Sun Gardens Dubrovnik have become part of The Leading Hotels of the World. This is also the first season that we have started with our sports academies. Through our and your Sun Gardens Magazine, we would like to participate in creating a real, memorable holiday experience. We hope that the topics that we have prepared will be an inspiration to you.

/18 Na Mediteranu, na toj vjetrometini civilizacija, gotovo na raskrižju epoha, nalazimo Benkovac, mjesto u Dalmatinskoj zagori KORLAT. gdje se prostire vinograd Korlat. Okružen je makijom i kamenom, iznad njega sunce, a licem okrenut prema moru. Jako sunce te škrto, vjetrovima šibano tlo daju osebujne karakteristike Korlat vinima. Riječ je o pionirskom pothvatu u Hrvatskoj gdje je iz krša, posebnim agrotehničkim mjerama i posebnim strojevima smljeven kamen te stvorena idealna kombinacija zemlje i PASSION kamena za uzgoj svjetski cijenjenih sorti cabernet sauvignon, syrah i merlot. Posebnost položaja Korlat leži i u terroiru; vinograd nastao u ekstremnim uvjetima ima najvišu točku na tristotinjak metara WITHOUT nadmorske visine i cijeli je okrenut prema moru, a u zaleđu se izdižu zadivljujući vrhovi Velebita. Korlat je svakako najljepši veliki vinograd u Hrvatskoj, nekoliko sati u korlatskim vinogradima omogućuje nam da pomirišemo, osjetimo i uistinu doživimo vrućinu, kamenjar i grožđe jednog od najljepših dijelova Hrvatske u kojemu nastaju neka od najboljih hrvatskih BOUNDARIES vina. Vrhunska vina KORLAT SYRAH, MERLOT, CABERNET SAUVIGNON ponosno pokazuju sva svoja zavidna svojstva, od iznimne boje, aroma crnoga bobičastog voća pa do svježih, uravnoteženih kiselina. Korlat vina iz berbe u berbu dobivaju izvrsne ocjene, što se mora zahvaliti i jedinstvenoj mikroklimi na Korlatovim pločama. Od sirovina francuskog sortimenta proizvodi se i baza za autentične rakije i likere iz istoimene linije, KORLAT RAKIJE I LIKERI. Loza barrique i Travarica barrique sa smiljem jedinstveni su predstavnici hrvatskih premium rakija. Šipak i divlja ruža, Aronija i Medica s propolisom priznati su likeri i istaknuti u društvu pravih ljubitelja i znalaca.

Korlat vineyard is located in the Mediterranean region, in the Dalmatian Hinterland, near the city of Benkovac, over the centuries exposed to different civilizations, almost at the intersection of different epochs. It is surrounded by macchia and rocky ground, constantly exposed to the sun and facing the sea. The hot sun and the rough weather-beaten soil guarantee Korlat wines their extraordinary features. This is a pioneering venture in Croatia since the karst topography was altered by special agro technical measures; special devices milled the existing rocks thus creating a soil-rock combination and ideal conditions for growing world famous grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot. Korlat locale is unique by its terroir; the vineyard was set up in extreme conditions, with the highest point at approximately three hundred meters above the seal level, facing the sea while the breath-taking peaks of Velebit rise in the hinterland. Korlat is, beyond any doubt, the most beautiful large vineyard in Croatia - several hours spent in Korlat vineyards enable us to scent, feel and truly experience the heat, the rocky ground and the grapes from one of the most beautiful parts of Croatia, famous for the production of best Croatian wines. Premium quality wines KORLAT SYRAH, MERLOT, CABERNET SAUVIGNON proudly present all their enviable properties, from the extraordinary colour, aromas of black berries, to the fresh, balanced acids. Harvest after harvest, Korlat wines are receiving excellent ratings, also due to the unique microclimate on Korlat plates. Raw materials for authentic rakijas and liqueurs from the eponymous line KORLAT RAKIJE I LIKERI are also produced from the French raw materials assortment. Loza barrique and Travarica barrique with Immortelle are unique representatives of Croatian premium rakijas. Rosehip and Wild Rose, Aronia and Medica with Propolis are liqueurs appreciated and prominent among true lovers and connoisseurs.

Otoci vrtova i plaža Islands of gardens & beaches

Skupina otoka s nazivom Elafiti ili Jelensko otočje smještena je zapadno od grada Dubrovnika, a čini ju desetak manjih otoka. Elafiti se sastoje od osam većih i pet manjih otoka, od kojih je najveći otok Šipan, a zatim slijede Koločep, Lopud, Daksa, Sveti Andrija, Ruda, Mišnjak, Jakljan, Kosmeč, Goleč, Crkvine, Tajan i Olipa. Naseljeni su samo otoci Šipan, Koločep i Lopud.

The archipelago called the Elaphites or the Deer Islands is situated west of the town of Dubrovnik. It consists of about a dozen smaller islands, or, to be more precise, of eight larger islands and five islets. Šipan is the largest island, followed by Koločep, Lopud, Daksa, St. Andrew, Ruda, Mišnjak, Jakljan, Kosmeč, Goleč, Crkvine, Tajan and Olipa. Only Šipan, Koločep and Lopud are inhabited.

Osim po izvrsnom vinu, Šipan je poznat i po maslinicima, zbog čega je i ušao u Guinnessovu knjigu rekorda kao otok s najviše stabala maslina u odnosu prema svojoj veličini i broju stanovnika Except for excellent wine, Šipan is also known for olives. It even made the Guinness Book of World Records as the island with the most olive trees compared to its territory and population.

Shakespeareov festival u Dubrovniku Shakespeare Festival in Dubrovnik Midsummer Scene ljetni je festi- val pokrenut 2014. godine, a ubr- zo se etablirao kao platforma za međunarodne umjetničke konce- pte i suradnje te postao tradi- cionalni festival u Dubrovniku. Midsummer Scene je jedinstven zbog prikazivanja kazališnih predstava na engleskom jeziku na staroj tvrđavi Lovrijenac. Midsummer Scene is a summer festival founded in 2014. It soon established itself as a platform for international artistic con- cepts and collaborations and it became an annual festival in Dubrovnik. What makes Mid- summer Scene unique is that the plays are performed in English in old Fort Lovrijenac.
