Tour of The Rural Estate

The family has lived in their traditional-style home for generations, working the land and producing grape brandy, olive oil and wine the same way their ancestors did. This is great opportunity to experience how people have lived in this verdant valley for centuries, explore the garden and view the family's large collection of implements and wine barrels.

Your gracious hosts and a renowned local Chef will introduce and present local specialties that will be prepared just for you! The food they serve is mainly home-grown and very traditional to the region. During the meal, you will indulge yourself in one of the most famous meals of Konavle area: veal and potatoes baked under the Peka, which is an iron bell covered in hot coals, a cooking method dating back to ancient times. The estate's family-grown wines will also be paired with the evening's offerings as the meal progresses.
