What our guests say

"An absolute highlight of our trip to Croatia! The cultural enrichment and intimate settings thoroughly enriched our experience in Croatia, and that is all without mentioning the incredible wines we tried alongside education from the family winery. Julija was a delight with the stories and local’s tips she provided during the drive and between the wineries we visited."
- Michael, US (review on TripAdvisor)

"We had an unforgettable day with Julija as our guide through the beautiful Konavle valley. She picked us up right at our hotel and took us to three unique wineries, each with its own charm and exceptional wines. Julija’s extensive knowledge of wine, coupled with her warm and welcoming personality, made the entire experience special. She went above and beyond by giving us great recommendations for local restaurants, making us feel truly immersed in the local culture. The day was perfect, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Julija was absolutely amazing."
- Daniel, US (review on TripAdvisor)

"My sister and I booked a day trip (Konavle Wine Tour) while visiting Dubrovnik in late October. Our guide Julija was a fantastic host and driver, offering so much detail and history related to the various places we stopped including Mount Srd, Cavtat, and various wineries (we loved Bratos Winery! -- IG: bratos_winery). I would highly recommend this experience to anyone interested in discovering local wines as well as seeing Dubrovnik's surrounding countryside. I will definitely schedule another tour with Julija when I'm back in Croatia in the future."
- Parker, US (review on TripAdvisor)

Where is the Konavle wine region?

Konavle is the south-easternmost region of Croatia and the closest wine-growing area to Dubrovnik. The region includes around thirty small villages as well as the coastal town of Cavtat, and stretches between Montenegro to the east, Bosnia and Herzegovina to the north and the Adriatic Sea to the south.

Despite being only a short drive from Dubrovnik, Konavle feels distinctly rural and peaceful. Its open landscapes, traditional stone villages and vineyards create a setting that is very different from the historic city itself, which is why many visitors choose to explore the area on a wine tour from Dubrovnik.

A fertile valley shaped by nature and tradition

At the heart of Konavle lies a wide fertile valley surrounded by gentle hills and the Sniježnica mountain range. For centuries this area has supplied Dubrovnik with agricultural products such as wine and fresh produce.

Today the region remains one of the most important rural landscapes near Dubrovnik. The combination of Mediterranean sunshine, sea influence and varied soils creates conditions for viticulture, making Konavle an ideal place to experience authentic Croatian wines in the countryside.

Small family wineries and local winemaking traditions

Although relatively small, the Konavle wine region is surprisingly diverse in terms of soils and microclimates. This allows local winemakers to express different styles while still reflecting the character of the local terroir.

Most wineries in Konavle are small family-run estates where traditions of viticulture and winemaking have been passed down for generations. Production is often limited, and many wines are sold locally rather than exported. Because of this, some of the region’s wines can only be experienced directly at the wineries themselves or in selected restaurants in Dubrovnik and Cavtat.

Meeting the people behind the wines and tasting them where they are produced is therefore an important part of any wine tour in the region.

Malvasija Dubrovačka – the signature wine of Konavle

The best-known wine of the region is Malvasija Dubrovačka, a white wine recorded in the Dubrovnik area as early as the 15th century. This traditional grape produces elegant wines with fresh acidity and aromatic complexity, and it has become one of the defining symbols of Konavle winemaking.

Alongside Malvasija, local winemakers also cultivate a selection of Croatian and international grape varieties that adapt well to the climate and landscape of the Konavle valley. This diversity allows visitors to experience a range of wine styles during a tasting.

Discovering Konavle through wine

A wine tour through Konavle is therefore much more than a simple tasting. It offers an opportunity to explore the landscapes, traditions and everyday life of this small Croatian wine region located just outside Dubrovnik.

By visiting family-run wineries, walking through vineyards and tasting local wines where they are produced, you gain a deeper understanding of the people and culture that shape the wines of Konavle.

Travellers interested in discovering more of southern Croatia’s wine culture often also explore the Pelješac Peninsula, home to some of the country’s most renowned red wines. If you would like to experience this region as well, you can learn more about our Pelješac Wine Tour from Dubrovnik.
