Head inland from Dubrovnik for a hands-on taste of Konavle: slow-roasted peka, family-run vineyards, and the limestone springs that shape local flavors. This half-day tour pairs food, history, and a scenic drive along the Adriatic Highway.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You leave Dubrovnik’s stone streets for a ribbon of coast road; the Adriatic pushes light across the windows while karst hills rise behind, scrubby and sunburnt, daring you inland. The drive into Konavle feels like a door opening from city rhythm to a slower, hands-on cuisine — ovens coax steam from a buried bell, and vines slope toward stone terraces.
