Experience Details*
Get a flavour of the wines, traditions and natural beauty of the Croatian countryside.
You might feel as though you’re looking back in time as you gaze out at the charming little villages dotted along the Konavle Valley during your panoramic drive to Brajkovići. Here, you’ll delve into a wine cellar to taste a variety of the local vintages.
Have your camera ready to snap the stunning scenes as you descend into the lush valley on a gentle trolley train ride. Visiting a few amazing countryside jewels, take the chance to savour some of the best wines made in the region, a typical ‘peasant’s brunch’ of homemade delicacies and a traditional local cake.
In the village of Ljuta, you’ll explore an old mill to discover how flour was made in years passed. And nearby, you’ll gain an insight into the traditional preparation of wool as your host, dressed in national costume, explains the delicate craft.
