Degustazione di vini della Valle di Konavle da Dubrovnik con pranzo leggero

Plenty of lovely, wine and food, pick up easy. Take cash if you would like to buy some wine to take home. Great guide who gave us lots of information. A nice hour spent in Cavtat enroute back.

Very good late afternoon-to-evening excursion. Mislav is a calm driver and a good thoughtful talker. He shared personal and historic info and advice on the place he loves. We were picked up a block from our holiday apartment. The drive is quite attractive, good views of the countryside. The winery is in a lovely valley and we were served by the vintner. we didn’t tour the vineyard though we did have lovely views and were right next to the grapes on the vine in a comfortable tasting room. Light food was served including meat cured on site by the owner. Fairly generous pours and refills. Good conversations about the history of the winery and the current state of the wine industry in Konavle, and in Croatia overall. All the wine is good and from a small maker, so you can’t get it outside of Croatia, which made for a singular experience. If you want to purchase bottles, note that you’ll have to bring cash, they don’t take credit cards. After about 90 minutes at the winery, we went on to the seaside town of Cavtat and spent just under an hour, we had ice cream and people-watched at the small port on a really lovely evening, there’s also restaurants, bars and shopping, and we could have done a very short hike to a nearby mausoleum on a hill as well.

Good tour content and not rushed. Good communication and pick up. Milas the driver was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Ivor and his wife the winery owners were friendly and interesting. The tour size, just four people, was perfect and the hosts made us feel very welcome.

Great experience. Small vineyard but gives good info about wine made in area. All the wine was very good. I also liked the liquors that wife makes

This trip was sold by TUI as visiting 3 Vineyards with wine tasting and a journey on a scenic train. Firstly this trip is expensive (currently about £68 pp). Secondly, it isn’t a wine tasting excursion and although you get to see several small and local vineyards they are from sight only whilst on the train. Definitely be mindful of where your hotel is compared to the drop off at the train. From Slano we spent almost 4 hours travelling to get to the tour and back to the hotel. There are actually 4 stops on the tour. You do get to drink some wine but it isn’t wine tasting in the traditional way. You are served a small glass. There is no detail about how it is made! Other stops include how olive oil is made and a stop at an old mill. The trip is LONG and quite boring. The train is sweet and quirky and there is no doubt that by travelling on/off this train you get to see Croatia’s countryside which is stunning. There is no question about how beautiful the landscape is. Is it worth £68??? I don’t think so!

Excellent from pick up & tour!

Fabulous wine tour with fantastic local knowledge from local family. Gorgeous setting and beautiful food and wine

We had a great time at the vineyard. Everything was delicious and beautiful! Our driver Goran was also great!

We were really looking forward to this trip, having done many similar trips before. The driver was 20 mins late due to traffic. The wine tasting itself was ok and the owners were nice people and we bought some wine. We missed the actual sunset at Cavtat which was a little disappointing . The driver however was rude and very money driven. He complained we didn’t buy enough wine, he was trying to force us to tip and said he wanted €80 to take us to our villa, this then reduced to €50 but we said we could get a taxi for €25. At this point he was angry and dumped us in a shopping centre car park and told us we F****d up! We were very shocked!!!

The trip started with a 40 minute drive from Dubrovnik to a small family owned and operated vineyard from the 1400’s. The charcuterie contained homemade cheeses, smoked meats and homemade bread that paired nicely with 4 different generously poured wines from the family vineyard. The family history and conversation with guests from other countries was a highlight. The evening ended with a sampling of several delightful brandies.
