This city has an underwater WINERY and we all need to go

Between being a mermaid, drinking lots of wine and travelling to exotic countries, let's just say we all have dreams for the future…

And this little spot in Croatia might just make all of those dreams come true.

The country has just opened it's first-ever underwater winery, and it sounds like the most perfect summer getaway.

Edivo Vina is located in Drače on the Pelješac Peninsula of Croatia and offers customers the chance to dive below sea level to a special winery which houses aged wines that have been in the ocean for over two years.

While diving down, you will also pass an old sunken boat, which actually stores the wine for the duration that it's under water.

Oh, and as well as that, you'll be able to watch the whole wine-making process from the start.

And it's pretty impressive. The wine is first aged for three months on land, until being packed away into a clay-like jugs, which are called amphorae.

The jugs of wine are then stored in the sunken underwater ship, before being brought back up to land two years later.

And the amphorae? Well, they come back up covered in sea shells and coral… so your dream of becoming a mermaid may possible come true (for an Instagram picture, anyway).

OK, this is right up our street. Trip to Croatia anyone?
