Premium Peljesac Private Wine Tour from Dubrovnik

Your private tour starts with a pick-up in Dubrovnik with our Mercedes minivan or Nissan X-trail luxury SUV, and driving for about 50 minutes up the Adriatic coast towards the peninsula of Peljesac. During the drive, your guide will introduce you to the history of this area, geography, and the climate – a necessary foundation to understand its wine-growing story.

In the village of Mali Ston, we will meet our old friend and fisherman Mario, who will take us in his fishing boat to the oyster beds (the sea is always perfectly calm since we are in the bay, so no worries that you would get seasick). We will give you explanations about oysters and mussels, their growth, and cultivation, while he picks and serves fresh oysters on the boat. Oysters will be paired with Peljesac sparkling wine – a great way to start your day.

After coming back to the mainland (the whole experience is about 40 min), we will continue through the Peljesac peninsula (with a possible restroom/coffee stop or walking tour of the medieval city of Ston). We will drive through the spectacular scenery of vineyards, olive orchards, valleys, and slopes, while your guide will explain the history of wine in the region, terroirs, varieties, and production.

Arriving at the Dingac hills, we will exit the car to walk in the sloped vineyards where the guide will explain the uniqueness of this terrain, soil, and ultimately its wine – Dingac.

Passing through the 400 m long Dingac tunnel, we will enter Potomje valley – most famous wine growing valley of Peljesac, and at the outskirts of the valley. We will stop at Korta Katarina winery, producing premium wines molded to perfection by top Croatian winemakers. With breathtaking views of the slopes of the Postup hills, your palate will journey into the history and future of these wines, accompanied by small pairing bites.

Next, we will be coming back through Peljesac, visiting one of the top private boutique family-owned wineries. You will have a chance to talk to the winemaker about their philosophies in wine making and, of course, taste their wines with homemade cow cheese and small bites. We have chosen a winery that we believe to be the best representation of the area.

Coming back towards Ston, we will be riding on the other side of Peljesac for you to soak up more nature and scenery until we arrive in Ston. You may have an authentic lunch (at your own expense), where you will get the chance to try out your newly acquired knowledge of Peljesac wines and pair your food with them accordingly.

We will then get back to Dubrovnik, concluding the tour. As our guides always say: “You enter our car as our guests, you exit it as our friends”.
