Description

Discover the best kept secrets of Croatian wine and delicious local food on this full-day tour from Dubrovnik. Spend an unforgettable day in the Pelješac peninsula looking for a true wine and food adventure in charming wine cellars and vineyards.
On this tour you explore the peninsula of Pelješac, just a 1-hour drive from Dubrovnik and a well-known red wine region where Plavac Mali and Dingac grapes are grown. At the family owned wineries you will spend unique moments discovering the history, production secrets, and special quality of the wines revealed just for you by the local winemakers who will guide you through their wine cellars and vineyards.

The first stop on the way to Pelješac is at the medieval town of Ston, where you’ll admire the largest wall in Europe stretching 5.5 kilometers between the towns of Ston and Mali Ston. You also visit the salt works where salt has been produced using the same methods for hundreds of years. Walk through the narrow streets of Ston, which was the second most important town in the Dubrovnik Republic.

The winding roads of the Pelješac peninsula lead you to the second wine producer. After tasting a selection of wine and traditional snacks, you visit the vineyards situated on the steep slopes of the hills facing the sea. Here you have the opportunity to take photos of this unique wine region and fall in love with the country.

Your next stop is at a vineyard where the host prepares wine tasting between the grape vines and explains everything there is to know about Pelješac wines. Finish off this wonderful day with a typical peasant brunch called “marenda” in the rustic ambient of a Dalmatian pub known as “konoba”. Depending on the season and weather conditions, the food will be prepared in front of you in the open fireplace, allowing you to join the short cooking class.

You'll also have the chance to visit a family-owned oyster and mussel farm where you'll taste oysters direct from the sea, paired with local wine.
