Taste Dubrovnik

Day 01 DUBROVNIK arrival

Arrival and check in at the hotel. Depending on the arrival a typical Mediterranean lunch will be organized in a local restaurant. After a guided walking tour of the ancient medieval town of Dubrovnik including the visit of the Rector’s Palace, Franciscan Monastery & the cathedral a three course welcome dinner will be served in Konavle, a region with particular natural beauties and contrasts. Naturally, a good meal asks for a good wine. Konavle, counting also its wine-growing district to its landmarks, has an appropriate production of quality and autochthonous wines such as Plavac Mali, Kadarun, Dalmatinka and others. Among them, the indigenous type of the Dubrovnik Malvasia Blanc takes a special place. It has been almost completely destroyed, and great importance was placed on its preservation and renewal. Return to Dubrovnik. Overnight.

Day 02 DUBROVNIK – PELJEŠAC WINE TOUR

Breakfast at the hotel. The tour through the lovely Dubrovnik coastline will lead us to the village of Ston on Peljesac peninsula whose defensive walls were regarded as a notable feat of medieval architecture. The town's inner wall measures 890 meters in length, while the Great Wall outside the town has a circumference of 5 km. The walls extend to Mali Ston (Little Ston), a smaller town on the northern side of the Pelješac isthmus and the end of the Bay of Mali Ston, notable for its maritime culture. Lunch will be organized in one of the local restaurant famous for its seafood menus which include local oysters and mussels. After lunch our wine tour through the Peljesac peninsula begins, a region that was cultivated as far back as the prehistoric and ancient times. One of Peljesac most famous wine sort is Dingac, the wine with excellent quality which represents the very top of the Croatian red wine offer. South stone slopes of Dingac site on Pelješac peninsula are home to the indigenous grape sort Plavac Mali, that grows here with top quality. Landscape is characterized by marked sunlight and glows from vast areas of sea, supplemented with ideal climate that gives Plavac Mali its exceptional characteristics. Area under Dingac is strictly controlled, and grapes are picked manually. The wine is of dark ruby color and excels in fullness of taste, lightly sour and yet harmonious taste, that resides long time in the mouth. Postup, another famous wine sort is located on the south side of Peljesac, not far from Dingac, between Mokalo and Trstenik, gives more in quality than it takes in quantity of sun nurtured grapes of Plavac Mali. Return to Dubrovnik where a farewell dinner will be served. Overnight.
