Pelješac wine tour from Dubrovnik — Ston walls & oyster tasting (6h).

The Ston walls, Europe's oldest working salt pans, and the peninsula that grows Croatia's biggest reds.

This Pelješac wine tour from Dubrovnik starts at the Ston walls — five and a half kilometres of 14th-century stone built to guard salt, then worth more than gold — and moves straight to the oyster tables of Mali Ston bay, where the shells come out of the water and onto the plate at the water's edge. Then the road climbs into Dingač country.

Insider: Oysters peak October to May and stay excellent all summer. Either way: nothing on them but lemon.

Your driver & the route

A local at the wheel,
not a stranger.

Trip-Specific FAQ

Have a question about Ston & Pelješac?

The questions guests most often ask us about this specific trip.

Where can you taste oysters near Dubrovnik?
Mali Ston — one of the last places on earth still farming European flat oysters, opened at the water's edge where they're raised.
What wine is Pelješac famous for?
Big reds from the Plavac Mali grape — Dingač and Postup, grown on the steep southern slopes. We stop at two cellars among them.
Can you walk the Ston walls?
Yes — it's a climb, and it's worth it. Europe's longest defensive walls after China's, with the salt pans they were built to guard still working below.
Is the wine tasting included?
The vehicle and driver are included. Tasting fees at each winery are paid on the day, typically a small local fee per estate, depending on the wines poured. We'll preview the cost in your offer.
Will I be over the limit to drive after?
Likely yes, five or six wines plus rakija add up. The driver is yours for the day; no other driving is needed.
Can I buy wine to take home?
Yes. Each winery sells bottles and cases at the cellar. Drivers can also help arrange international shipping for serious buys.
Is this trip suitable for non-drinkers?
Absolutely, we'll swap the tastings for an extended Ston walls walk, the salt-pan visit and a working olive mill stop. Tell us in the booking form.
