Traveler reviews
The experience
The journey starts with hotel pickup in Dubrovnik and an hour-long drive south, crossing the contemporary Franjo Tudman Bridge and following the Dalmatian Coast past ancient fishing villages. Your driver provides context on the area's history and culture as you travel. The route itself is part of the experience: the coastal road opens up views of the peninsula as you approach it.
Ston and its smaller neighbor Mali Ston are your first stop. These towns sit behind some of the longest medieval walls in Europe: 4.3 miles of fortification built to protect the salt ponds that made the region wealthy enough to trade with Rome. You'll see the old salt factory and have time to walk the town. Lunch is on your own, but the local oysters are worth trying. Roman emperors had them shipped inland, and they're still harvested in the shallow waters here. The walls and the waterfront give you a sense of how this small place once mattered.
The afternoon focuses on wine. You stop at three different family-run wineries spread across the peninsula, where you taste their wines and learn what distinguishes each vineyard's approach. The producers explain their process and what the local terroir brings to their vintages. By the end of the day, you've moved through the landscape and the wine culture that defines it, returning to Dubrovnik by early evening.
Is this one for you?Hotel pickup from Dubrovnik means you don't need a car or arrange your own transport to reach the peninsula. The driver handles the route and the commentary, leaving you free to focus on the towns and the wines.
