We had a great wine tour from Dubrovnik with Vedrana. She did a great job navigating the side roads that allowed us to see great views of the countryside and of the shoreline leading up to wine region. The wineries were great also!
Fantastic experience. We visited Ston, a small historic town, wineries, and had amazing food. Our driver Luka was amazing. He was a safe driver, professional, had good information and conversation. Luka also made reservations for us at our lunch to have the best seat by the sea and reservation at a winery where we spoke with the owner about his wines and process. Overall an amazing tour that you could not get anywhere else or with anyone else. Also of note we have used both drivers of this company. Both are fantastic, don’t worry about who drives you as both people are amazing and make your tour the best.
The tour was very well planned - the stops at the view point, Ston, 2 wineries, one small and private and one larger and public, Ston and a village stop for a local lunch at a very idyllic location were all so perfect! Our guide Luka was excellent, very knowledgable and gracious and did not rush our group of 6 adults. This tour is a must and we all highly recommend it.
Fantastic tour with Marco. Spectacular scenery along the peninsula and through the wine areas… a visit to one of the smaller family run winery’s to taste the top quality wine and olive oil, the host Paul is knowledgeable and engaging. Lunch of freshly caught fish and oysters in a postcard perfect quiet fishing village was memorable. Although the tour is eight hours long the stunning scenery and Marcos knowledge of the area keeps the tour effortless and interesting.
Thank you guys it was a pleasure
Great fun tour, we saw a lot of places we would never have found without our guide Marco who looked after us very well.
We had a wonderful afternoon exploring more of Dubrovnik with Marko, it was nice to get away from the Old City for part of the day to learn more about the surrounding area.
Amazing experience from start to finish. The guide is friendly, funny and very knowledgeable about the history and the area/places we visited. The wineries and the restaurant were all amazing. And the scenery as you drive to each place is stunning! The guide will stop and get some scenic pictures for you as you go. I won't go into too much detail about the actual tour and the wines and the restaurant as they are all brilliant in their own unique ways, but you will not feel disappointed if you take this tour. Every time you stop there's a great local history lesson with new friendly characters and local things to taste and experience. If I find myself in or close to Dubrovnik I would pay and take this same tour again, that's how special it was!
The best day with an awesome guide. Picked up from bakery, then a leisurely drive to the first viewpoint which provided stunning views abs great photo ops. Next stop Ston. Great little village where we enjoyed a small beer in the sunshine before jumping back into the car for 5 minutes to Tony’s winery. What a little gem! Family owned, very knowledgable and hospitable. We then then drove further along the peninsula and arrived at the prettiest little fishing village where we enjoyed a long lunch sat on the edge harbour, we were invited into the kitchen to watch the chef cook our fish that he’d caught himself that morning. Lash stop another winery which was gorgeous. A trip well worth doing. Especially with Marko
Thank you guys for a beautiful review, it was a pleasure and I hope we meet again 😀
We had an absolutely incredible wine tasting tour through Dubrovnik and the Pelješac Peninsula, including a stop in Ston, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip to Croatia. Our guide, Marko, was outstanding! super knowledgeable, incredibly friendly, and genuinely passionate about the region, its history, and of course, its wine. He made the entire experience feel personal and relaxed, and we learned so much along the way. The wineries we visited were fantastic, and the wine and food recommendations were truly out of this world. Honestly, the wines we tasted were even better than what we’ve experienced in Napa Valley, which really surprised us in the best way. The scenery throughout the Pelješac Peninsula was stunning, and the whole day was perfectly organized from start to finish. We can’t recommend this tour enough, if you’re visiting Dubrovnik and love wine, this is an absolute must!
Had a great day with Marko! Really enjoyed visiting the local wineries and the friendly chat during our daylong wine tour. Beautiful scenery. Would highly recommend
