Local and fun Dubrovnik experience
Amazing special evening cooking in the mountains of Dubrovnik. You are welcomed to a beautiful family farm with a coffee and fig cookie. Chatting away with the family. You jump right in th making potato bread! As the bread is rising you prep your ingredients for a lovely chicken stew! Tour of the farm, pick veggies and collect eggs from the coop. We visit a neighbor and learn all about goats and have the opportunity to milk the goat! An amazing experience all around! Highly recommend 🍷🍷🍷

Wonderful experience
My family of 6 (teens & adults) had a wonderful experience visiting a traditional farm and meeting the family who has lived there for hundreds of years. We loved picking vegetables in the garden, making and eating our meal, tasting homemade liqueurs and learning about the history and culture of the farm community, Our guides were passionate about their home, family, history and healthy eating. Their english was clear and easy to understand. Another highlight was Oliver who was our driver to and from the event. He was super friendly and eager to share information about growing up and living life in Dubrovnik area. His company Dubrovnik Food Story offers other tours which i will definitely look into if we are in the area again.
Operator response

Cooking class was the highlight of our trip to Croatia.
My daughters and I went to the cooking class outside Dubrovnik and it was the highlight of our trip to Croatia. Transportation was seamless, the hosts were delightful, we felt that we learned a lot about the local culture, and the cooking and meal were fun and delicious. We also really enjoyed the other participants in the class
Operator response

Not to be missed!
From the pick up and return to Dubrovnik by van, to the harvesting of our herbs and vegetables in the garden, the baking of our bread and the prep of our meal, it was a great experience. The host family was gracious and eager to share their way of life with their guests. A special thank you to our tour operator who went out of her way to help me recover something important I had inadvertently left behind. A wonderful evening!
Operator response
Dear Laia,
thank you so much for this wonderful review, it truly made our day! We’re so glad the full experience came together for you, from the van ride out of Dubrovnik to harvesting in the garden and baking bread with the family.
And of course retrieving your belongings was absolutely no trouble at all! That’s what we’re here for. We hope to welcome you back to the Croatian countryside someday. Until then, hvala i sretno!

The best experience!
What an amazing experience! We were lucky enough to have a cooking class all to ourselves, with the lovely Nike. It was so refreshing to walk through the garden where the fruit and vegetables were growing, pick the ingredients that we were using to cook with and learn all about how they run their home and business. The food we cooked at the end tasted great too.
Oliver was the friendliest driver and kept us entertained on the way there and back, where we learned even more about the area and its people. It was certainly the most personable experience of our trip.
Couldn’t recommend enough- thank you!
Operator response
Dear Amy,
thank you for this wonderful review! Nike will be so happy to read this, she puts so much love into every class, from the garden to the table. And I’ll make sure Oliver sees your kind words too! Having the class all to yourselves with that personal touch is exactly what makes this experience so special. Hope to welcome you back one day!

Authentic countryside dinner experience
We truly enjoyed our time with this welcoming family. We each got a chance to make bread and help with some light prep work (chopping veggies) for the meal. I thought the cooking would be more of the focus but great none the less. We helped pick food from the garden, met chickens and went to a neighboring family to get goat milk and cheese. We met their cows and also fed and milked goats. Came back and had an absolutely delicious meal. Amazing experience! Highly recommend!
Operator response
Dear Caitlin,
thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled you had such a memorable experience with our host family. From baking bread and harvesting from the garden, to visiting the neighboring farm for fresh goat milk and cheese, we love that you got to experience the full journey from farm to table.
We appreciate your feedback about the cooking focus and will keep that in mind as we continue to improve the experience. We hope to welcome you again soon! 🙂

Extra Special Experience
The traditional cooking class in the Dubrovnik countryside was nothing short of extraordinary. It’s the kind of experience that stays with you long after the last bite—rich in flavor, history, and genuine human connection.
Set on a family‑owned farm tucked into the peaceful hills outside the city, the class offers a slower, more intentional pace that feels like a gift in our busy, hustle‑driven world. Preparing a meal together—using simple, wholesome ingredients and stories shared across the table—felt grounding and deeply meaningful. It was a reminder of how nourishing it can be to slow down and truly connect with others.
We learned how traditional Dalmatian dishes come to life using fresh, local ingredients, and the joy of tasting the results of our own work was unforgettable. A visit to a neighboring farm added an extra layer of authenticity, where we sampled fresh goat and cow’s cheese that was absolutely delicious.
If you’re looking for something truly special—an experience that feeds both your body and your soul—this is it. I would highly recommend this cooking class to anyone wanting a deeper connection to Dubrovnik’s culture, history, and warm rural hospitality. It’s a rare and beautiful glimpse into a way of life that deserves to be savored.
Operator response
Dear Tara,
thank you for such a beautifully written and thoughtful review of our traditional “Pick.Cook.Eat” cooking class in the countryside. We’re truly grateful you took the time to share your experience.
It means a great deal to hear that the cooking class resonated with you on such a deeper level, not just through the food, but through the sense of connection, tradition and slower pace of life in the countryside. This is exactly what we hope to offer our guests: an authentic and meaningful glimpse into local culture and hospitality.
We’re especially glad you enjoyed the hands- on cooking, the fresh ingredients and the visit to our neighboring farm- these moments are very close to our hearts.
Thank you again for your kind recommendation. We would be delighted to welcome you back for another experience in the future!
Kind regards,
Marija
