Wonderful tour tasting wine and experiencing the culture of Croatia. Our guide was very informative on both the wine, the family histories and how olive oil was made back in the days before electricity.
The main description on tripadvisor is slightly different to the itinerary description. You taste 4 wines, without any guidance on what you are tasting (no tasting notes etc.) and don't get to hear much of how they make the wine, more about the family history of the vineyard- which is interesting. We ended up spending the most time at a water mill and a flour mill - no live wool making as stated in the description. Also note the train doesnt drive you through vineyards you are on a main road for a lot of it but you do go past vineyards and some people in our party had spent over an hour on the coach before we even got picked up. The tour was okay, the wine was nice and I enjoyed trying the liqueurs at the last vineyard.
Fantastic afternoon in the beautiful countryside. Friendly knowledgeable guide. Transfer turned up on time and it was good to take in the views on the way to the valley. On the tour itself and at all the vineyard stops, it was good to learn the history and traditions of the family owned vineyards and Mills. Wine tasting was excellent. Really enjoyed the whole experience. Vineyard Botana (last stop) was the best with grandma's cake and excellent host!!. Thank you 😊
Konavle valley wine tour. Picked up from our hotel and taken to three very different vineyards. Each had there own style and character. One had a working flour mill with demo and history, loved this. At each stop the owners brought local crafts and foodstuffs to try and buy. Between the vineyards we were transported on a small land train. Great photo ops. Great wine and lovely people. Our pick of the tours we did on this holiday.

Absolute rip off. Do not go if you expect value for money. Miniscule amounts of wine at the first couple of stops. Almost angry enough to put in a formal complaint.

Nevertheless, your comments really matter to our local team to improve the quality's standard service by applying the appropriate corrective actions. Kind regards, Customer Service Team
This is well worth booking, if you're here in Croatia, and looking to do something different. We were picked up, exactly on time, outside our hotel, and driven around 25 mins to the first winery. Our guide, Tom, was very knowledgeable and his English was good. We were offered two samples of wine and given a talk about the history of the winery. A short "road train" journey took us to a further two wineries and a flour mill. All very interesting, with tastings and the opportunity to buy products, we learned very little about the actual wine making process, but lots about the families whose businesses we visited. Nonetheless, it was an enjoyable experience, particularly the final winery, where we were served Grandma's cake and some home made liqueur. The whole trip was around 4 hours from pick up to drop off. You need good walking shoes and a bottle of water! Would definitely do this again.

We had a wonderful time on this tour. The families are lovely, the crew was informative, and the views were magical. Our pickup stop was missed, we called and they sent a private car for us immediately. But would suggest if you don't get a pickup message the day before or day of contact them to ensure pickup.
We had a very good time on our wine tour and tasting. Included some great snacks along the way. The konvale area was stunning to see and experience in the little train even stopping at a water mill where the guy showed us how it all worked. Our only negative was that we never got to experience having a walk down the vineyards which would have made the experience even better.

A fun trip round three local vineyards plus a mill. Pretty basic in terms of wine info shared, and modest amount of wine on offer too. The road train was good fun and it was a pleasant afternoon of sightseeing. Could have hoped for more info on the wine, or a greater variety of wines.

We had such a lovely time on this cute little wine train. The first winery we stopped at was Brajkovic Winery which had the best red wine we've had in Croatia, we had to buy 2 bottles to take home with us, although one didn't last the journey... The train takes takes you around the beautiful countryside and the tour is a lovely mixture of gorgeous scenery, delicious wine and sandwiches as well as local guides knowledge of the history of the area. We also found the driver to be very accommodating. We were staying locally so vouched for getting to the first location by bike. The driver of the coach made arrangements for us to be taken back to our accommodation via the wonderful yellow train and we would pick up our bike the following day. Such a lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon 😊
