Ston and Peljesac Peninsula + Trsteno Arboretum (Full Day Tour)

This tour takes us to the western part of today’s Dubrovnik-Neretva County, the 77km long peninsula of Peljesac, which became part of the old Dubrovnik Republic back in 1333. Today, Peljesac is home to extraordinary wineries and oyster farms all cosily wrapped in breathtaking nature. On our way, we make Trsteno Arboretum our first stop and escape the heat in the shade of 465 different tree and plant varieties. We continue our journey towards the town of Ston, famous for its fortified walls and centuries old salt pans. Ston is my recommended lunch stop. Since oysters pair fantastically with wine, it is only natural to stop at one of the many wineries on Peljesac and try the native varieties such as the famous Dingac, Posip or Grk wines. We continue our drive through the iconic Dingac tunnel into the blue for the scenic ride down the southern slopes of Peljesac on the way to a small village called Zuljana to spend the rest of our day trip at the turquoise beach before heading back to Dubrovnik.
