Ston and Peljesac Peninsula day trip from Dubrovnik: Wine tasting

The Peljesac Peninsula produces wine, salt and seafood on a narrow strip of land most visitors skip entirely.

A private day trip from Dubrovnik to the Peljesac Peninsula with a guide, hotel pickup and drop-off, and wine tasting at three family-run wineries. You walk through Ston, a coastal town built around the Great Wall of Croatia and an old salt factory, then travel the peninsula's coastline stopping to sample local wines and artisan cheese and bread. The itinerary is flexible. If you want to swap a winery visit for a seafood tasting at a coastal fish farm instead, your guide can arrange it.

The experience

The day starts with pickup from your Dubrovnik hotel and roughly an hour on the road south to Ston, a small coastal town on the Peljesac Peninsula. Your private guide drives an air-conditioned minivan and can adjust the route based on what you want to see. If a particular stop or stretch of the coastline interests you more, you simply say so. The peninsula sits between mainland Croatia and Korcula Island, separated by the Peljesac Channel, and the landscape shifts as you travel: limestone hills, vineyards, and the Adriatic appearing and disappearing along the road.

In Ston, you walk through the town to see the Great Wall of Croatia, a fortified city wall said to rank among the world's largest, and visit an old salt factory where you learn how the area's salt harvest works. Lunch is on your own in town, then you return to the minivan to continue south along the peninsula's undulating coastline. The three winery stops that follow are family-run operations where you taste their wines (Plavic Mali is the region's principal grape, though the specific bottles vary each day), and snacks like artisan cheese and bread come alongside. If you prefer to skip a winery and taste fresh oysters or mussels at a coastal fish farm instead, learning about the region's fishing heritage, your guide can make that swap.

The return to Dubrovnik takes the same scenic route back, with a drop-off at your hotel ending the tour. The group stays small (a maximum of eight people per booking), which means the minivan never feels crowded and your guide can answer questions without raising their voice over other conversations.

Top questions

What is the Great Wall of Croatia and why is it in Ston?

Ston's Great Wall is a fortified city wall that ranks among the world's largest fortified structures. The town built it to protect its salt-harvesting operations, which were the economic engine of the peninsula for centuries.

Can I choose which wineries we visit, or does the itinerary stay the same?

The itinerary is flexible throughout the day. You can tell your guide which stops interest you most, and if you want to swap a winery visit for a seafood tasting at a coastal fish farm instead, your guide can arrange that on the spot.

Is lunch included in the tour?

Lunch is not included. You eat on your own in Ston during a break in the tour. The wine tastings come with artisan cheese and bread, but food and drinks beyond that are your own expense.

How long is the drive from Dubrovnik to the peninsula?

The drive from your Dubrovnik hotel to Ston takes roughly an hour. The entire tour lasts seven hours from pickup to drop-off, including the walking tour in Ston, the three winery stops, and the return journey.

What grape varieties will I taste?

Plavic Mali is the region's principal grape, and you will likely taste several wines made from it across the three wineries. The specific bottles vary depending on what each winery has available on the day you visit.

Is this tour suitable if I'm not very fit?

The tour is suitable for all physical fitness levels. The walking in Ston is leisurely, and the winery visits involve standing and tasting rather than hiking or strenuous activity.
