Dubrovnik, Croatia

Wine Tasting & Bay Cruise

DETAILS

  • 43/4
    hrs Estimate Duration

Sample a selection of wines aged in a highly unusual way and cruise the bay that separates Croatia’s largest peninsula from the mainland. This experience is all about the sea as you will initially discover at the Edivo wine bar in Drace, a village on the Peljesac Peninsula. The wine is aged in glass bottles placed in clay amphoras and then submerged in the Adriatic Sea for nearly two years. The process – known as the Sea Mystery – yields unique wines that have never seen light until poured into your glass. Cruising through the Bay of Mali Ston will add another dimension to your understanding of the local seascape. The water conditions are ideal for the cultivation of oysters, and you may well see these bivalves being farmed. The highlight however is the Peljesac Bridge, a modern engineering marvel that links the Peljesac Peninsula to the Croatian mainland while bypassing Bosnia and Herzegovina’s only outlet to the sea.

• Enjoy a tasting of Croatian wines aged underwater in the Adriatic Sea.
• Cruise the sheltered Bay of Mali Ston in a wooden boat.
