People's History through Food and Wine

Peljesac Peninsula is Croatia’s most renowned wine growing region. Here, centuries long tradition of living off the land is combined with the desire of local people to not only preserve their heritage, but also to enable generations to come enjoy the best this area has to offer. You will visit two local wineries responsible for some of the most delicious wine in the region and enjoy a look into another traditional activity of Peljesac locals – oyster farming. During a relaxing boat trip to a small oyster farm, you will be introduced to the philosophy behind this ancient trade and get to taste some of the most delicious European oysters. Your trip will further take you up the Peninsula to one of the small villages where you will be treated to a lunch of homemade delicacies in a charming family owned winery. Before returning to Dubrovnik, you will visit Ston, famous for its traditional salt production and long defensive walls. There you will enjoy some time to explore on your own.
