You’ll travel in a luxurious, air-conditioned vehicle, accompanied by a professional English-speaking driver. As you leave the city behind, enjoy the stunning views of the Adriatic Sea, coastal villages, and the rugged coastline that stretches towards the Pelješac Peninsula. 2. Exploring Ston Your first major stop is the historic town of Ston, known for its medieval walls, salt pans, and delectable oysters. Here, you’ll have time to explore the town, visit the ancient saltworks, and perhaps sample some of the local seafood. The walls of Ston, often referred to as the "European Wall of China," are a remarkable sight and a testament to the town's historical significance. 3. Wine Tasting at Local Wineries Pelješac is famous for its vineyards, particularly the Plavac Mali grape, which produces some of Croatia's finest wines. Your tour includes visits to two or three carefully selected family-owned wineries. At each winery, you’ll enjoy personalized wine tastings, guided by knowledgeable winemakers who will share the history, techniques, and passion behind their craft. • First Winery: Begin with a visit to a winery in the southern part of Pelješac, where you’ll be introduced to the robust red wines that characterize the region. Enjoy tastings of wines like Dingač and Postup, accompanied by local cheeses, olive oils, and perhaps some fresh-baked bread. • Second Winery: Your next stop is a winery nestled in the heart of the peninsula. Here, you’ll taste a variety of wines, including the powerful Plavac Mali, while learning about the vineyard’s unique terroir and the winemaking process that has been passed down through generations. 4. Lunch in a Local Konoba at your own No visit to Pelješac is complete without indulging in the local cuisine. Your driver will recommend a traditional konoba (tavern) where you can enjoy a leisurely lunch. Savor dishes such as grilled seafood, roasted lamb, or a classic peka dish, paired with local wines and homemade bread. 5. Return Journey to Dubrovnik As your wine tour draws to a close, you’ll begin the return journey to Dubrovnik. Relax in the comfort of your vehicle as you retrace your route along the coast, reflecting on the day’s experiences and the flavors of Pelješac’s wines.
