Dubrovnik for Wine Lovers
If your idea of the perfect day involves sipping a glass of something spectacular with a view of the Adriatic, then Dubrovnik is your kind of place.
This region is home to some of Croatia's finest wines, with the Pelješac Peninsula - just a short drive away - producing legendary reds like Dingač and Postup. These robust, sun-kissed Plavac Mali wines are the closest thing Croatia has to a cult following.
For a taste of Dubrovnik's winemaking heritage, visit the Konavle Valley, where small family-run wineries craft elegant whites like Malvasija Dubrovačka - a grape dating back to the 14th century. Many vineyards offer tours and tastings, often paired with local cheeses, olives, and pršut (Dalmatian prosciutto).
If you're visiting in October, the Dubrovnik Good Food Festival also celebrates the region's wines, with special tastings and pairings that let you explore the best of Dalmatia in a single sip.

Top Tip: Order a bevanda - red wine mixed with just a splash of water - like the locals do on a hot day.
