Konavle Gastro Tour

Jam packed day filled with great wine tasting and delicious home made food. Dino is an excellent driver and entertainer. He made us feel comfortable and energized all day. I highly recommend this day trip with Dino!

Two Great Days Out of Dubrovnik with Dino 1022634611 We are a family of four with two grown up kids (aged 18 and 21) who have just come back from five days in Dubrovnik. No doubt Dubrovnik is an amazing city but this is peak season so very busy, and this was our first time in Croatia so we were keen to see the surrounding area. We were able to do this thanks to two great days out with Dino as our driver and guide. Dino is a very friendly, warm and engaging person who has excellent connections and great local knowledge. Our first trip consisted of stops at the one of the smallest rivers in Europe, panoramic views and great photo opportunity over Dubrovnik, then onto a delightful small resort town of Cavtat where we had ice cream and were able to spend time looking around Cavtat. On Dino’s recommendation we then stopped for lunch on the way back to Dubrovnik at Zupicica where the food was fresh, very nice, and really good value especially compared to Dubrovnik Old Town. Having had a great day out we then got chatting with Dino about another trip. We were keen to avoid a 8-9 hour all day activity so that ruled out a boat cruise. Dino suggested a trip higher up into the Croatian Mountains and a lunch stop at a restaurant on the river in Konavle Valley for a 5-6 hour duration. This truly was a fantastic day. We went even higher up for views of Dubrovnik and the Adriatic Sea; we visited Sokol Castle and then to crown it all we had the most wonderful lunch “on the river” at Vinica Monkovic. Dino is clearly great friends with the owners and booked us a great table where we were able to enjoy fabulous home produced food and wine amidst the peace and tranquility of the river. This being a world away from the busyness and tourist hotspots of Dubrovnik Old Town. Next time we visit this area we will be sure to contact Dino in advance to explore other trips we could do with him including to Bosnia Herzegovina to see Mostar and Sarajevo. Many thanks Dino - all four of us had a truly memorable experience.

The tour was excellent. We enjoyed the food, drinks and nature. Konavle is a nice place where you can recharge your batteries. Everything is peaceful, fresh air and wonderful people. We saw a lot of farm animals. The tour was wonderful and we really enjoyed it. All food recommendations and a great guide.
