Peljesac is the second largest Croatian peninsula, located 45 minutes drive from Dubrovnik. Some of the best red wines in Croatia are produced in Peljesac. Grapes from Peljesac vineyards are getting a huge amount of sugar because of triple insolation, from the Sun, from the sea, and from the hills. Specific vineyard locations don't allow machines, so everything is hand-made. The results of nature and hard work are excellent. It's a specific feeling to enjoy some wonderful wines and beautiful landscapes of Peljesac vineyards.

This is a once in a lifetime experience- meeting wine makers who share family stories and the fruits of their efforts in a most personal way. The pride in their product is well deserved as the 100per cent pure grape of each wine was noteworthy. For those aware of Napa, California, USA, this tout is like going back to those early days of family run wineries.
Lastly, our driver, Ogden, a non drinker is a true gem - his concern for our experience was evident in all steps. His knowledge of the history of Croatia and very pleasant manner provided a 5 star experience!
As a tourism professor , i gained new insights and an appreciation for this region of Croatia.

Our day with Pero was delightful! After pick-up in Mlini, we drove to Peljesac while getting to know our guide and some of the local history of Dubrovnik. We visited three unique wine estates with interesting stories about their products and winemaking. The first was a small production family business with white/red selections to taste and buy. The second was most interesting to me as he was creating both still and sparkling wines and also had delicious fruit liqueurs...plus there was a small food platter to add to our tastebuds. We visited the third larger property after lunch and enjoyed our tasting on the outdoor patio in the warmth and sunshine. Our choice to enjoy lunch in a small fresh seafood restaurant was perfect...views of the bay and the boats while enjoying wine and the catch of the day. I highly recommend this tour and company for an excellent experience while visiting the Dubrovnik region.

Wonderful day spent with Ordan for the wine tour! Every location we went to was great! The facilities were so good! Everyone was so knowledgeable and we enjoyed learning about how the wine is made, and having tours of the wine cellars! And of course drinking the wine! Totally would recommend!

Our host Ordan was so knowledgeable about the wine growing area of Peljesac but was very astute in his knowledge of the peninsula in comparison to other wine making region in other countries. My husband, myself and our friends had a great time wine tasting. We also enjoyed a great lunch with oysters. Yum!
