Additional Information

Join us for a delightful journey to the village of Lumbarda, where you’ll sample some of Korcula Island’s tastiest highlights with visits to three family-run producers.

A short trip from Korcula brings us to our first stop, one of the region’s top honey and gin producers. Here, you’ll learn about their process and enjoy tasting their products.

Next, we head to Lumbarda to experience one of Korcula’s most famous offerings: its wine. At a family-run winery, you’ll taste the acclaimed yet little-known white wine, Grk, along with other regional wines, all served with delicious local snacks such as cheese, prsut ham or seasonal salad.

After leaving the winery, we take a scenic 10-15 minute walk to our final destination. At the home of the jovial Ivan, you’ll sample a variety of homemade delights including olive oil, preserves, sweet treats, rakija (brandy), domestic wine, and to top it off, crepe-style pancakes with jam. After bidding our new friends farewell, we’ll return to Korcula.

  • We walk around 10-15 minutes at a moderate pace.

Highly recommended - So pleased we were able to join this tour. Very well organised. We all had great fun, learnt a lot and tasted some lovely local food and drink directly from the producers. So much more than just a wine tasting tour although the wine was good!

Great time had by all - Very enjoyable food and wine tour. Small group, everyone friendly and we had a great laugh about all our holiday's experiences. Guests even attempted to learn our Yorkshire dialect! Would recommend the tour to everyone and was very well organised and run by our up-standing and erect (🤣) English host Rachel.

One of our absolute favorite memories from Korcula - We took this tour on the last night of our stay on Korcula and I can't think of a better way to have ended our time there. Rachael was our guide and she was phenomenal. She was so personable and fun and such a good facilitator. Her knowledge of the island's wines was very informative. All of the stops we made were filled with delicious treats and beverages. Our group of 8 really hit it off and there was so much laughing. We left each other that night exchanging contact information. As a side note, we needed to postpone our original booked tour a couple of days due to a medical issue with one of the individuals in our party and John and Rachael worked very hard to make sure that we were still able to enjoy a tour with them. Rachael also helped with information on seeking local medical care. And then at the end of our tour, another member of our party realized that they had left their bag of purchases from the local vendors on the van and the van was on its way to another city by that point. Rachael acted quickly and gathered each item that had been purchased earlier and had them hand delivered to our Airbnb so we would have them prior to our departure the following morning. Thank you Rachael and John for the absolute best time and for making a memory we will never forget!!

Fantastic Korcula tour - We had an incredible time during this tour. We tried local products, like honey, gin, wine and lots of local food. We learned about processes to make all of the above while being surrounded by great company and the beautiful scenery of Korcula’s countryside (with sea view of course). Kudos to Korcula Explorer for thinking up such an amazing tour, that aside from the great products shows a great community, which is self sustainable and ready to support each other. The tour is a perfect combo of food, wine and amazing people. I could not recommend it more.

Great fun and informative trip! - Our tour guide was Rachael, who was excellent - very informative and good at explaining everything to us in a relaxed and light-hearted way. It was a birthday treat and I couldn't have asked for anything better! The bee guy was informative and great fun, really loved the gin and honey. The Bire vineyard was very interesting and explained a lot about the local wines. The local homestead was an experience in itself! Course after course including more wine, liqueurs, olive oil, jams, pancakes and more! A great way to find out about the local cuisine and specialities. Couldn't recommend more highly!!

Great local experience - Wonderful tour! Rachael was a great guide and has built good relationships with local producers. We loved all of our tastings and enjoyed hearing about the gin, wine, honey, etc production. Our group had a great dynamic. The last stop at a local home was particularly charming! Would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a bit more of a local experience.

EXCELLENT Tour, Host, Food & Spirits - What a blast! The Taste of Korcula Tour exceeded all of our expectations. First, Rachael was a terrific host, full of energy, information and genuinely good cheer. A great troop leader! The stops at the bee keeper's/gin distillery, Bire vineyard and a local's home provided outstanding education (in a really fun way), excellent food and spirits. The other people in our group were awesome, too...they made it all even better. Don't hesitate to do this tour, you'll only regret it if you don't go. HIGHLY recommended.

Best experience with the best guide! - This was possibly the best day I've had in Croatia. I've always watched these blogs where people speak about a traditional wine tasting with locals, but never got this until I went on this tour. What an amazing day! We started at a honey, olive oil and gin producer then a wine farm for some Grk! After that we ended it off doing a wine tasting in the actual home of the winemaker where we were served wine and sweets and olive oil and jam and Pancakes! So amazing. Racheal is so wonderful and so kind. Thank you so much for the best day in Croatia for me! I loved every minute of it.!!!
