Amazing time - We opted for the Peljesac and Ston private wine tour with oyster tasting. To sum it up we had an amazing time with Miho from start to finish. Miho’s professionalism, stories and knowledge made our drives enjoyable. The wines, hosts and scenery were all amazing as well. We had the best time and would highly recommend taking a tour.

Fantastic day of wine (and oysters) - We had a wonderful day. Miho was an excellent driver and guide, and it was a lovely experience visiting 3 small family owned wineries. In each location it was just the two of us with the winemakers, a much more intimate experience than we’re used to from wine tastings in the US. Like sitting at someone’s table and having a conversation over a glass (or two) of wine. Each spot also had tasty food/snacks. We learned lots about the history of the region. Finally- it’s not explicitly part of this particular tour (I think there are similar tours that include this), but ask to make time to enjoy some oysters and mussels in Ston. Quite certainly the freshest and most delicious you’ll ever have. 5-plus stars!

Highly recommend this tour, beautiful afternoon out and super informative! - We all had a great time with Vodic who taught us a lot about the area, he was very informative and super friendly! The oysters with Mario was a highlight, we really enjoyed tasting the delicious oysters and his wine. The wine tasting itself was a beautiful experience and we left with an armful of delights to take home with us. The town of Ston was very pretty too! Highly recommend!

Incredible Experience - My wife and I went on the private wine tour from Dubrovnik to Peljesac and Ston, and had a wonderful experience! We would highly recommend it, especially if your next stop is in Korcula, because you can do this on your way and will be dropped off at the ferry you need to take! You get a very private and local experience, driving along the coastline and stopping at small, family owned wineries with tastings guided by the owners. The wine is incredible, and the people you get to meet are even better. This was one of the most memorable experiences of our entire trip to Croatia! Our guide, Miho, was exceptional. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He let us stop for pictures several times, even recommending spots that we should stop and get pictures at. He was happy to discuss any questions we had and was very easy and fun to talk to. We really enjoyed getting to know him throughout the day. He was also very helpful to get us setup for our ferry to Korcula. This experience was well worth it, and we would highly recommend it to anyone!

Superb winery tour! - We did a 3 country (Croatia, Bosnia Herzegovina and Montenegro), 3 winery tour. We visited all 3 countries departing at 9am and back by 4pm! Our driver and guide, Miho, was lovely. He was generously shared stories about the region, the history and even some personal stories. He is a very good driver and even stopped to save a few tortoises on the road. Highly recommend this trip! Please let Miho know we appreciated his insights!

Perfect day! - The tour was fantastic. Miho, our tour guide and driver, was friendly, thoughtful, and professional. He was super patient with us and made our day even more special. We visited three wineries: Matusko, Anticevic, and vukas. The first one was more of a big production winery but the last two were absolute gems!!! I was so happy to support smaller wineries and meet the people behind the bottles. Just wish I had brought a bigger suitcase! :) This was a great wine tour and I would absolutely recommend Miho as your guide! Perfect day!
