Venture beyond the city into Dubrovnik's fertile hinterland for a private half-day of authentic konoba dining, local wine tasting, olive oil pressing, and a traditional Konavle embroidery demonstration in a medieval village.
What to expect
A private driver collects you from the port and winds south through the green Konavle valley, a landscape of vineyards and stone farmhouses. Your host family welcomes you into a working estate for a tasting of plavac mali red wine and fresh-pressed olive oil with homemade bread. Lunch centres on lamb or veal cooked under the peka, accompanied by grilled vegetables from the garden. After coffee, a local artisan demonstrates the intricate Konavle embroidery tradition — a UNESCO intangible heritage. The return drive skirts the coast for a panoramic finale.
Good to know
Round-trip from Dubrovnik port is approximately 30–40 min each way. Half-day format (4–5 hrs) leaves ample time for Old City exploration. Private vehicle included in most packages. Book at least 2 weeks ahead; family-run operators have limited capacity.
