What could be better than good wine, beautiful scenery and the cutest wee yellow train? - We had such a lovely time on this cute little wine train. The first winery we stopped at was Brajkovic Winery which had the best red wine we've had in Croatia, we had to buy 2 bottles to take home with us, although one didn't last the journey...
The train takes takes you around the beautiful countryside and the tour is a lovely mixture of gorgeous scenery, delicious wine and sandwiches as well as local guides knowledge of the history of the area.
We also found the driver to be very accommodating. We were staying locally so vouched for getting to the first location by bike. The driver of the coach made arrangements for us to be taken back to our accommodation via the wonderful yellow train and we would pick up our bike the following day.
Such a lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon 😊

Lovely experience - We very much enjoyed this experience offered by TUI. It is well worth it!! We went to 5 different stops, 4 of which had wine and the other had traditional sweets and a mill. The hosts were all excellent we very much enjoyed the wine. It was great fun to travel by the train between the different locations and a perfect way to see the countryside!

Well worth it - This is well worth booking, if you're here in Croatia, and looking to do something different.
We were picked up, exactly on time, outside our hotel, and driven around 25 mins to the first winery. Our guide, Tom, was very knowledgeable and his English was good.
We were offered two samples of wine and given a talk about the history of the winery.
A short "road train" journey took us to a further two wineries and a flour mill.
All very interesting, with tastings and the opportunity to buy products, we learned very little about the actual wine making process, but lots about the families whose businesses we visited.
Nonetheless, it was an enjoyable experience, particularly the final winery, where we were served Grandma's cake and some home made liqueur.
The whole trip was around 4 hours from pick up to drop off.
You need good walking shoes and a bottle of water!
Would definitely do this again.

Beautiful views, variety of wine and snacks! - We had a wonderful time on this tour. The families are lovely, the crew was informative, and the views were magical. Our pickup stop was missed, we called and they sent a private car for us immediately. But would suggest if you don't get a pickup message the day before or day of contact them to ensure pickup.

Wine Tour - We had a very good time on our wine tour and tasting. Included some great snacks along the way. The konvale area was stunning to see and experience in the little train even stopping at a water mill where the guy showed us how it all worked. Our only negative was that we never got to experience having a walk down the vineyards which would have made the experience even better.

A fairly entertaining afternoon - A fun trip round three local vineyards plus a mill. Pretty basic in terms of wine info shared, and modest amount of wine on offer too. The road train was good fun and it was a pleasant afternoon of sightseeing. Could have hoped for more info on the wine, or a greater variety of wines.

Rude guide - The trip was advertised as 6 hours. Half of this was collecting and dropping off passengers. The driver took phone calls, not hands free. And also the guide told the whole bus we were running late due to individual people, berating them publicly when they joined the tour later. Quite telling that nobody tipped the guide at the end.
Given the price we had expected more wine samples, generally not generous. Would have swapped the stop at the flour mill for another winery.
But train driver very helpful and the setting was beautiful.
