Oyster Farm, Ston and Winery Tour

My wife and I had a wonderful trip with Mela as our guide and host. The oyster farm was fascinating and wine trip interesting and personal. The trip also gave us the opportunity to see more of the beautiful Croatian coast and the ancient salt beds at Son were likewise fascinating and the City walls second only to the Great Wall of China. All in all an interesting and enjoyable half day giving a great insight into the history and culture of Croatia - with some great wine thrown in.

We had the owner of the agency as our private guide. He is almost a wine master. We had a very educational road trip where our host tight us almost every aspect about grape types and how to taste wine. The oyster farm was the best experience on this tour. We ate the best oyster ever coming up fresh from the sea. The wine tasting was simple but interesting.

Amazing tour with Mario. We visited the oyster farm first, then Tony’s wineries, and finished at Ston. Mario is truly a master of knowledge, history, wine, food… he’s full of surprises and probably one of the best-prepared guides we’ve ever had. I would definitely recommend a tour with him

Mario is an incredibly well educated wine expert who was able to provide us with a lot of informative details about the area and wine in general. He took us to an oyster farm for delicious oysters with wine pairing right out of the boats, and then to a winery with a well respected wine maker right there to talk about his wines and help us compare the same wines at varying stages of aging. He also had some of the most delicious olive oil I've ever had. It was small, intimate and a delight. This is the epitome of a small group tour, and I highly recommend it. Take note that the parking laws make it impossible for them to pick up or drop off at the old town port in Dubrovnik, but they gave very easy instructions for a short uber ride to meet them nearby. They dropped us back about 1/2 mile walk away from the port, and we walked back, meandering our way through the old city to return. Walking back did require a lot of steps (steps down vs. up), so perhaps opt for a taxi if you have any mobility issues.

Mario made the experience very personalized. It was fun seeing a locally family-owned winery. We learned a lot about oysters and wine. Cheers! Tip - bring cash if you want to purchase wine from winery.

Absolutely loved it. Recommending it all my friends

We were picked up by our very own local, friendly, smiling guide, who was prompt, happy and very informative about Croatia, the oyster farm and the winery! He is a master of wines. We loved our tour! Thank you Mario! Denise and Russ :-)

Great experience and guide was very good and knowledgeable. Definitely an experience to book.

Mario was a fantastic guide: friendly, informative and open to questions! We learnt of the history of oyster farming and eating, wine, salt, and the history of the area. Oysters and wine were a great (second) breakfast, the wine and guided tasting was great - a perfect half a day! The tour was well organised: my tip for all is that the winery doesn't take card.

Very interesting tour, our guide, Mela, was insightful and a good driver. The day was a bit long, but it was worth it as it allowed us to see another part of Croatia and learn more about their vineyards and oyster culture. I recommend it!
