Overview

Escape the tourist crowds and taste the real Dalmatia on this intimate food and wine walking tour through the quiet, hidden streets of Dubrovnik’s Old Town.

Led by a local foodie, you'll skip the tourist traps to visit traditional eateries run entirely by local families. Sample a generous menu of authentic Croatian dishes perfectly paired with indigenous wines, all carefully curated by a certified WSET Level 2 wine expert.

Enjoy enough delicious food to replace a full lunch or dinner, and take in the history as you pass by iconic landmarks like the Franciscan Pharmacy, Onofrio's Fountain, the Rector's Palace, and the Cathedral.

We keep our groups small (just 8 people max) so you never feel like just another face in a crowd. It gives us the flexibility to take spontaneous detours, have real conversations, and make the whole experience feel much more personal.
