Fun and educational - Mario is very knowledgeable! We learnt a lot and had a great time. Nice transportation in a smart air conned mini van which we appreciated. Visited areas that we wouldn’t have otherwise been to.

Delicious wine, yummy food and great company! - We had a fantastic time on this wine tour! It started with a 30m stop at Ston where we were let loose to explore and try out the trademark oysters. After that we stopped at 3 wineries and got to try wines from the famous Dingač valley too. And to top it off we enjoyed a yummy 3 course meal in a beautiful restaurant overlooking the sea. Mario was also super knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the wines and culture of Dubrovnik and Croatia. Highly recommend this tour if you're looking for a full day wine adventure with a great lunch!

Excellent and fun tour - Mario is an excellent, genial and knowledgeable host. We did the oyster and wine tour and learned a lot about both. Very much enjoyed the tour and the bottle of wine we bought from the wine grower, Tony.

Great day out - It was a great day out. The wineries were in spectacular locations, and the wines were of excellent quality. Mario was very knowledgeable, which enhanced the experience. Lunch was great—we were invited to the kitchen to see our seafood lunch being cooked over a barbecue. If you like wine-tasting tours, then I can recommend this one.

Great introduction to Croatian wine along with amazing scenery - We thoroughly enjoyed our all day wine tour with Mario. He collected us from our hotel and we departed Dubrovnik to begin the tour. Mario shared lots of interesting information on wine production in Croatia as well as tips on tasting wine and pairing the wines with food. Our first stop was a local Oyster farm where we sampled some delicious fresh oysters along with Croatian bubbles. We then visited three different wineries - we were able to sample wines at each of the stops along with some amazing local cheeses. The trip was topped off with an amazing three course lunch on a terrace overlooking the bay. Lots of fresh seafood to enjoy with more wine. On the way back we stopped off in Ston which is a lovely old city much smaller than Dubrovnik so very easy to explore in a short time. Would highly recommend this tour for those who enjoy sampling new wines - it was also a great opportunity to see more of Croatia outside Dubrovnik!

Great wine tasting experience - Marco was a tour guide. Being a sommelier, he was extremely knowledgeable about wine in general and of course, Croatian wines. We stopped at three wineries and had a nice seaside lunch. He has also spent many years int eh UK so his English was impeccable.

What a day!!! - My group of 7 recently took this full day wine tour from Dubrovnik, and it was a huge highlight of our trip! Mario was a spectacular guide and host; he is a wealth of information and we learned so much about wines and the region. We also learned a great deal about pairing wines with foods. The day started out with oysters FRESH from the sea paired with a wine chosen by Mario. What a way to start off the day, and the setting was incredible! We thoroughly enjoyed the three wineries that we visited, and the lunch -WOW. We had wonderful fish that went from sea to grill to plate! We are still talking about our perfect day filled with great info, beautiful scenery and wonderful company from our great host. Note that I researched many wine day trips in advance, and I definitely made the best choice for my group! Thank you, Mario! Highly recommend!
