Begin your day with a visit to the medieval town of Ston, home to the second-longest defensive stone wall in the world, stretching over 5.5 kilometers. Take a guided walk along a scenic section of the wall with breathtaking views over the historic salt pans, the rolling hills, and the nearby sea. Your guide shares stories of the Dubrovnik Republic, salt trade, and the strategic importance of this fortified gem.

Next, head to the peaceful waters of Mali Ston Bay. Step aboard a private wooden boat hosted by Captain Antonio, an oyster farmer in the fourth generation. As you glide between oyster beds, learn about the centuries-old tradition of oyster and mussel farming in this pristine bay. Taste freshly shucked oysters pulled straight from the sea, followed by mussels cooked onboard in a white wine and garlic broth. Local bread, olive oil, lemon wedges, and a chilled glass of Pošip or Grk complete this unforgettable floating lunch.

After a short drive up the coast, arrive at the legendary Grgić Vina – founded by Napa Valley winemaker Mike Grgich, originally from Croatia. Overlooking the sparkling Adriatic, this family-run estate invites you to taste their renowned Plavac Mali and Pošip wines. Learn how tradition meets international expertise, and enjoy a relaxed tasting in the peaceful terrace setting, accompanied by light local snacks and olive oil.

Travel through the breathtaking Dingač region, where terraced vineyards cascade down steep limestone slopes toward the sea. Your driver takes a slow, scenic route with time for a stop at a panoramic viewpoint – the perfect moment to soak in the raw beauty of Croatia’s most dramatic wine landscape.

Arrive at the elegant and contemporary Saints Hills Winery, nestled among olive groves and stone terraces. Enjoy a private tour of the cellar followed by a curated tasting of their expressive wines, including Dingač and other Plavac Mali selections. The tasting is paired with refined Dalmatian bites such as aged cheese, anchovies, and fig tapenade. Here, innovation and tradition blend seamlessly in a setting that feels both luxurious and grounded in the land.
