Excursion Dubrovnik & the croatian countryside tour at Dubrovnik

Explore the many faces of Croatia during this guided walk through Old Dubrovnik, a winery tour and tasting, and a visit to a family home in the fertile Konavle Valley.

Disembark the tender and commence your walking tour of the city with a stroll down the Stradun.

Dominican Monastery and Cathedral

Along the way, a visit is made to the Dominican Monastery and Cathedral. Inside, discover the finest collection of Renaissance paintings in Dubrovnik. Among the many works by local and Italian masters is a painting by Tizian. The cathedral is built on the remains of the original, 12th-century church that was destroyed by a disastrous earthquake in 1667. Today, its treasury contains one of the finest collections of gold and silver artefacts in Europe. Following your walking tour, some free time is made available for you to explore the Old Town at your leisure before re-boarding the coach for the drive to Komaji Village.

Komaji Village

Upon arrival, proceed for a visit to the Crvik family winery. The owner, Andro Crvik, greets your arrival, then gives a presentation about his wines, shows you the production process and invites you to participate in a tasting of his vintages. Following the tasting, re-board your coach and depart for the drive into the picturesque Konavle Valley.

Konavle Valley

Proceed to a rural farming area tucked in the mountains of the Konavle Valley and visit to the typical country home of the Novakovic family. They have lived here for generations and produce grape brandy, olive oil and wine. See how people have lived in this verdant valley for centuries, explore the garden and view the family's large collection of implements and wine barrels. Next, your gracious hosts serve you a set-menu lunch consisting of local specialities accompanied by wine and a performance of 'Dalmatian' music.

Following your visit, re-board your coach for the approximate 30-minute return drive to the pier.
