Private Peljesac Wine Tasting Tour from Dubrovnik

Your private excursion begins from Dubrovnik, with a breathtaking ascent to the village of Majkovi, offering a panoramic view of the Elaphiti Islands shimmering in the Adriatic. From there, the journey enters the Pelješac peninsula, stopping first at the medieval town of Ston to admire its historic defensive walls and ancient salt pans; this sets the stage for an authentic exploration of Croatia’s most prestigious wine territory, where centuries of history and rugged natural beauty converge to create a world-class destination for viticulture.

The experience continues with an intimate visit to the Čurlin family winery, a beautiful example of a small-scale, traditional estate where you can witness the heritage of local winemaking firsthand. For lunch, the tour moves to the picturesque Trstenik Bay, a coastal jewel celebrated for its azure waters and tranquil Mediterranean charm; at Vitaceae Konoba, guests can enjoy a Mediterranean feast featuring fresh oysters harvested directly from the bay, paired with local artisanal products like olive oil and herb-infused cheeses, or have a full traditional lunch. Throughout the day, you will taste between 6 and 9 premium wines, focusing on the robust Plavac Mali and the elegant Pošip varieties.

The afternoon is dedicated to the dramatic landscapes of the Dingač region, where steep, sun-drenched vineyards produce the most celebrated grapes of Pelješac; the journey culminates at the Matuško winery, home to one of the most impressive and expansive underground wine cellars in the region, offering a striking look at the scale of modern Croatian oenology. This tour is special because it seamlessly blends high-altitude views, medieval history, and sophisticated tasting; by exploring the diverse facets of Pelješac, from humble family estates to grand historic cellars, guests receive a truly comprehensive and personalized immersion into the heart of Dalmatian wine culture.
