Ride ATVs through quiet villages, taste homemade wine, see Dubrovnik’s hills

You’ll ride an ATV through Dubrovnik’s countryside with a local guide, stopping in tiny villages and up on rocky hills where you can see all the way to Zaton Bay. Taste homemade prosciutto, cheese, and wine at a family farm after touring an old olive oil mill — and maybe catch yourself smiling at something simple like laundry flapping in the sun.

The Experience

I didn’t expect to feel so small out there, honestly. We started in Orašac — this little village just outside Dubrovnik — and it was all stone houses and sleepy dogs at first. Our guide, Ivan, handed me a helmet and grinned like he knew I’d be nervous (he was right). The ATVs rumbled to life and suddenly we were bouncing down dusty tracks with wildflowers brushing our ankles. The air smelled like pine and something sweet I still can’t name.

Ljubač was even quieter than Orašac — just a handful of houses, some laundry flapping on a line. Ivan pointed out where his aunt lives (she waved from her garden), then told us about the old road built back in 1810 that never really got finished. He had this way of talking that made you want to listen; not too much history, just enough to make you look at the stones differently. We stopped at a high point only the ATVs could reach — I tried to take a photo but honestly it didn’t do the view any justice. You could see Zaton Bay curving away below us, sunlight flickering on the water.

After all that dust and wind, brunch felt like a reward. We sat under an olive tree at someone’s family farm (I think it was Ivan’s cousin?), eating prosciutto and cheese that tasted saltier than anything from home. There was homemade wine too — not fancy but warm going down — and they let us try fresh olive oil straight from an old wooden press. Someone’s grandma brought out soda for anyone who wanted it instead of wine. It felt good to just sit there for a bit, hands still buzzing from the ride.

What’s included

Your day includes an ATV ride through Dubrovnik’s countryside with a licensed local guide, stops at quiet villages like Ljubač, entry to an old olive oil mill with tasting, homemade prosciutto and cheese brunch with local wine or soda—all before heading back full (and probably still a little dusty).
