About this experience

Discover Croatian wine through one of the Adriatic's most authentic experiences. Dubrovnik Wine & Sail combines traditional sailing, local gastronomy, island culture, and premium wine tasting into an unforgettable full-day journey from Dubrovnik.

Your day begins aboard a beautifully restored traditional Dalmatian wooden boat. As we leave Dubrovnik behind, you'll cruise through the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic while learning about Croatia's rich wine heritage, indigenous grape varieties, and the unique history of winemaking along the Dalmatian coast.

During the journey to the island of Šipan, you'll enjoy a guided tasting of carefully selected Croatian wines and traditional rakija, paired with local specialties including artisan cheeses, olive oil, homemade preserves, fresh seasonal fruit, and other regional delicacies. This is not simply a tasting—it's an introduction to the stories, traditions, and people behind Croatian wine.

Upon arrival on Šipan, we'll visit a family-owned boutique winery where the winemakers will welcome us for an intimate tasting of four additional wines. You'll discover the philosophy behind their production, learn about the vineyards and local terroir, and experience Croatian hospitality in a relaxed and authentic setting.

After the winery visit, you'll have free time to stroll through the picturesque village of Suđurađ, with its charming stone houses, quiet harbor, and Mediterranean atmosphere.

On the return cruise to Dubrovnik, we'll stop in a secluded Adriatic bay where you can swim in crystal-clear waters or simply relax on board with a glass of wine while enjoying the stunning coastal scenery.

Our small-group format ensures a personal experience, allowing plenty of time for conversation, questions, and meaningful interaction. Whether you're an experienced wine lover or simply curious to discover Croatia beyond its famous landmarks, this tour offers the perfect combination of wine, culture, gastronomy, and nature.
