An experience that will be remembered. - Fantastic day trip. We went in late October and it was amazing. Beautiful food, wine, views, and company. We got to see this beautiful country and get out of the Old City for a day. Highly recommend.

živjeli - This didn’t feel like a tourist activity - it felt like an experience I needed to have before leaving Dubrovnik. Even though we are all tourists, we got to experience a special trip through the southern part of the country, through many towns and covering lots of mileage, moving from vineyard to vineyard. Oliver was the perfect host and a great driver - we felt safe, well advised, and confident throughout the trip. We stopped at this *epic* ‘Oyster Farm. Being a New Englander, I didn’t think there was much I didn’t know about oysters, but it turns out - there’s a lot. First stop was to this little town and boat dock, we get on a boat and head to this moored barge that was just chilling in the middle of this unreal brackish water bay where these endless oyster farms were. The main boat dude hauls out these massive, boulder like oysters and gives each of us 5. October is off season, and I was told there were ‘smaller than normal’ and to come back in the Spring - no joke, these things were bigger than my fist. Had to chew these things. Honestly, I would have been happy with just the oyster farm trip - it was amazing. Boat dude had a bottle of his father’s white wine, which was amazing too. After wine and oysters, we go back into the car and head to two vineyards / winery’s and have some really great local wine. The second winery included a pretty epic lunch - the pictures posted on TripAdvisor are pretty darn accurate when it comes to food - it’s what we ate / got and it was really fun. The winemakers sat with us and spent time with us, they were happy to receive our group of Googly tech people and we were happy to chill with them. This was easily the best part of this entire trip - walking around Old City is fine I suppose, but you miss 90% of what makes Dubrovnik amazing - the coast, wine, food, people, views, landscape - OTHER CASTLES (they are everywhere; shame shame shame). After this tour, I’m completely rethinking how I do vacations in Europe - I am leaving with a much better sense of what ‘Croatia’ - even this tiny bit at the bottom of the country - is all about and I want to come back.

Worth every penny and more!!!! - Absolutely loved the full day that Oliver offered. Dubrovnik Food Story (the small family company he is part of) is fab. Prompt pick up in clean van. The itinerary can’t be beat - wonderful boat ride and too many oysters to count - followed by two organic winery visits. The wine pours were generous, and only outmatched by the sheer amount of food you are served - delicious local dishes that really reflect the country and traditions. It was small group of only 6 of us, and Oliver took the utmost care to drive safely, provide commentary and even offered to help with photos. He added a bonus coffee break stop for the group and always kept the energy of the day flowing. Was great value. Left full of memories and stuffed with delicious traditional food. I can’t think of a better way to escape the crowds and enjoy the scenery and taste of real Croatia!

BEST DAY TRIP OUT OF DUBROVNIK - Begin your day with tour guide/owner/driver Oliver. Visit Ston & taste oysters straight from the bay where they were cultivated by the farmer who personally takes you out on his boat & then serves them to you with a glass of white wine & a kiss of lemon! Perhaps the best oysters of my life. Visit 2 organic wineries & finish with an incredible homemade lunch. We had appetizers, delicious lentil soup, wild boar pastiacda, & dessert of pears in varenik syrup. The entire day is filled with sensory overload! Exquisite scenery, knowledgeable guide, delicious wine & food. Oliver is truly a treasure & has other food & cooking tours too. It’s a splurge you won’t regret!

Great food and wine tour - My husband and I had such a good time on this food and wine tour! We enjoyed fresh oysters from the sea and wine tastings from two different wineries. At the second winery we enjoyed a delicious meal handmade from the family who runs the winery. Oliver was an excellent guide, providing details on Croatian history and taking photos for us!

Best Tour of Peljeseac Peninsula - Fresh Oysters, Homemade Cheese, and Great Wine - We had an amazing day with our guide, Oliver. We started with a tour of a family run oyster farm with fresh oysters for breakfast on the boat with homemade wine. We then visited two organic vineyards and had a lovely lunch. If you are vegetarian, let them know in advance. The van was comfortable and Oliver was an excellent driver, despite the narrow roads. This was the best way to experience the Peljesac peninsula. Don't miss this truly authentic and unique experience.

Wonderful Experience! - My husband and I spent an unforgettable day with our guide Oliver! We drove along the beautiful Croatian coastline, saw the incredible walls of Ston and the saltworks, went for a boat ride with a 5th generation oyster farmer who served us delicious oysters fresh from the sea paired with his family’s homemade wine and fruit liquor, visited a larger family owned winery who just opened a beautiful new facility that we toured and then tasted 4 incredible wines and their award winning olive oil. Then last but certainly not least, we enjoyed a wine pairing lunch at an intimate family owned winery where we had one of the best meals of our two weeks in Croatia, drank amazing wine (as much as we wanted!), and enjoyed the wonderful company of Oliver and Mario! I cannot recommend this experience enough. The day was action packed but yet very relaxed at the same time. It was the highlight of our trip and worth every penny! Thank you to Oliver! We had a great time with you!

One of the highlights of our trip! - I literally cannot say enough good things about this tour, it was one of the best days of our trip! First off, we had to change our tour date last minute and Oliver and Marija (husband/wife and owners of Dubrovnik Food Story) were BEYOND accommodating and allowed us to switch tour dates with zero issue. They were so kind, understanding and really went above and beyond to make it a great experience for us. The tour itself was a day that my husband and I will never forget! We made great new friends, had oysters fresh out of the sea and drank some of the best wine I've ever tried. Oliver our host was hilarious; he was so knowledgeable and was really able to read the room and give us the right amount of information and right amount of time to socialize. The wineries we visited gave us ample tastings and information. The lunch served was prepared by the family who owns the organic winery we visited and my husband and I both agreed it was one of our favorite meals even after 9 days in Croatia and eating at some amazing restaurants. Do yourself a favor and book this tour! You'll be supporting a fantastic family, their business and having a great day all at the same time.
