Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

The tour begins at a charming private farm where you will have the opportunity to learn about rural life and the production of local products. You'll be welcomed with a warm smile and surrounded with friendly farm animals and maybe even have a chance to try horse riding before setting off on your bike tour.

Short bike ride to the chapel of St. Barbara surrounded by 104 stećci (stone graves, slabs and chests), with the view of the entire rural region. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a fascinating piece of history, and you'll have the chance to admire the stunning stećci and learn about their cultural significance.

We embark on a leisurely 10-minute bike ride to Sokol Grad. Here, you'll take a walk through the entire Sokol fortress, taking in the atmosphere of this historic area.

We jump back on your bike and enjoy a scenic ride through stunning nature to the Konavle countryside. As you make your way through the countryside, you'll have plenty of opportunities to stop, rest, and enjoy a walk in nature. By the countryside, we’ll visit the old mills where you'll be treated to a presentation of the work of the mills and learn about their history and importance. Mills will be operated by hand of the local, in person. You'll also have the opportunity to taste some of the delicious food specialties that are produced here, made with the freshest ingredients and the expertise of local producers.

To round off your tour, we'll leave our bikes in front of the winery on Gruda and indulge in a delicious wine tasting experience, alone in the company of your tour group and a certified wine connoisseur. Walking through private vineyards, listening to the presentation of traditional winemaking, will leave you with insights into the delicate process. You'll have the opportunity to sample some of the finest wines produced in the area, accompanied by a platter of local delicacies. As you enjoy the flavors and aromas of the wine, you'll reflect on the wonderful memories you've made during your tour and look forward to your next visit to Konavle.
