daniel was very knowledgeable and friendly. a pleasure to spend the day with. the wineries were very good choices and stopping for oysters and mussels on the way home really capped a wonderful day.

Dejana was professional, knowledgeable and an excellent driver! The wineries were specially selected and excellent choices. We enjoyed the hour at Ston walking the walls and visiting the salt farm. Overall it was an outstanding day for us! Glad Dejana was our guide for the day! Of course we bought wine.

This was an amazing tour of Croatia’s finest wineries. This area along the coast is just beautiful. Included is a visit to an oyster breeding ground where oysters and mussels naturally grow. They are served fresh for one to taste and paired with white wine of the region. Absolutely delicious!!

Luka was a fantastic guide! We had a very interesting day, tasted many great wines, learned a lot, and ate wonderful food. We appreciated Luka's knowledge and friendliness, along with his vast knowledge of history and current issues impacting Croatia. We particularly appreciated the flexibility to add an additional windery that was of great interest to us.

We took this tour on Sunday 17th May, and had Matko as our deiver/guide. Matko spoke perfect english having lived in Dublin for 10 years and explained a lot about the history of Dubrovnik and Croatia generally. Our trip initially went to the lovely small town of Ston, which has a strong wall built around it expanding right up the hill. You can walk the walls for which the cost of the ticket is €10 per adult, but be prepared that the wall does rise quite steeply and is fairly narrow, but ok for most people if you take your time. Part of the wall was vlocked off due to repairs takubg place, which meant if you wanted to walk nearly all the walls, you needed to walk up to approx halfway, nearly back down again, and then back up again (although you can exit when coming down if you prefer, or have limited time). We left Ston and proceeded to 3no different wineries for wine tasting, where we had 3 different wines to taste at each. All the wines were very good although there was normally one based on the main local grape, Plavic Mali. The first winery we went to, Putnikic, had a museum, abd the guide shiwed us around before the wine tasting. The Edivo winery was a bit different to the other two insofar as some of their wines were aged in the bottle at a depth of 20m in the bay for 2 years (whilst the last winery also do this, it was for 1 year only). The bottles in the clay pots at Edvio were quite expensive, but would involve quite a bit of theatre when opening the bottle, as was shown on the CNN video, so appear to be unique. The last winery was Marlais Winery, which was run by a young local family since around 2013, and they have been continually expanding their range of wines and their vines. After we had finished at the wineries, Matko kindly offered to take us down to a lovely bar at Mali (little) Ston to an oyster bar for us to try out sone, as we had never had them before. We had 3 each of the fresh oysters (their oyster farm being effectively right next door to the restaurant) and grilled oysters. I preferred the grilled oysters, but my partner preffered the fresh oysters. We then got taken back to our hotel The overall tour took approx 8hrs including the extra stop at Mali Ston. Matko was a lovely chap who couldn't do enough for you. We would definitely recommend this tour, even if you don't do the extra stop.

The scenic drive was wonderful and the small family run winery we stopped in was lovely! Marlais was wonderful. The daughter in law of the owners gave us a tour of her garden and provided our tasting. She was sweet and their wines were phenomenal! Our Driver Ivan was very knowledgeable about wine and provide a lot of historical perspective on wine and all things Croatia. We stopped in Mali Ston for a little Oysters and a meal. It was just a great day!

My wife and I had a wonderful day on this private tour! Our guide Marko was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and flexible with what we wanted to do. Highly recommend this tour with Marko

Tour guide was very knowledgeable and spoke in 2 languages! We thoroughly enjoyed Ston, Korcula and wine tasting!
