Dubrovnik Private Shore Excursion: Dubrovnik Old Town, wine tasting at Konavle Valley and Sivi Soko viewpoint

Meet your private guide
at Dubrovnik’s cruise ship port, then board your air-conditioned transfer
vehicle and enjoy a leisurely journey to the idyllic Konavle Valley. Home to
around 30 picturesque villages that have settled among the verdant natural
beauty, Konavle Valley supplies the surrounding regions with fresh produce,
meat and wine. As you travel, ask your guide any questions you have; the beauty
of a private tour is that the commentary is tailored to your interests. On
arrival in Konavle, head to a local winery. Here, learn about the techniques
that winemakers use to produce the region’s highly regarded wine before
sampling some of the local varieties and refueling with traditional Croatian
snacks such as cheese with homemade bread. After your wine tasting, return to
your transfer vehicle and begin the scenic journey back to Dubrovnik. Stop off
at Sivi Soko viewpoint on route for breathtaking views — and postcard-perfect
photos — of Dubrovnik, Konavle Valley, Cavtat and the neighboring islands.

Then, continue
on to Dubrovnik Old Town. Follow your guide on foot, weaving your way through
the maze of cobbled streets and narrow passageways. Hear of the area’s rich
cultural and historical importance, and admire the quaint architecture of the
UNESCO-listed area. See historical treasures such as Onofrio's Fountain and
Sponza Palace. Amble past the Baroque Cathedral of the Assumption, which was
reconstructed in the 18th century after an earthquake. Other top sights include
the Church of St Blaise and Rector’s Palace. After exploring the Old Town, hop
back inside your transfer vehicle and return to the port in time for your
cruise departure.
