About this activity

Explore two of Dalmatia's most captivating destinations in a single day: the walled medieval town of Korčula, birthplace of Marco Polo, followed by wine tasting on the Pelješac peninsula. This private car tour combines cultural immersion with local viticulture, departing from Dubrovnik with a professional driver-guide.

The island of Korcula undoubtedly holds a privileged position among the Croatian islands. Here we find more legends, tales and monuments than anywhere else. Being famous stonemasons, shipbuilders and seafarers, the people of Korcula have left their marks all over the world, but have saved their best works for their hometown. Experience the narrow streets, beautiful churches and
magnificent palaces in one of the best-preserved medieval towns in the Mediterranean. After sightseeing – free time for lunch or swimming. On your drive back, toast to your lovely day with a glass of the region's signature red wine Plavac Mali at one of the wine cellars on the Pelješac peninsula.

our guide Nadia had so many stories and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight. Used it for our summer trip so it wasnt too busy. Handy if youre short on time, and came away with 200+ photos, and did it on our first morning. Would book again no question.
