Excursion Grand voyage collection: oyster feast & hodilje lunch experience tour at Dubrovnik
Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
There are few greater pleasures or a more special delicacy than that of a fresh oyster, especially one served right by the sea, at the spot where it has grown.
Join us on this wonderful excursion where you will get the chance to sample one of Croatia's most renowned products in spectacular surroundings on the Peljesac peninsula. We make our way to the town of Mali Ston where our adventure begins. Once you've had time to take in the view of the magnificent Ston Walls, we'll hop aboard our boat and set sail through the picturesque Mali Ston Bay, home to the oyster bed farm that we will visit. Once our boat drops anchor at the family owned farm, we will collect fresh oysters straight from the sea bed and our hosts will skilfully open them ready for you to taste. We will then make our way to a secluded village of Hodilje, where our host Ficovic family will welcome us in their home to offer us a delicious lunch and wine tasting. We will be served a sensational Croatian seafood lunch of oysters, shellfish and grilled fresh Adriatic fish accompanied by delicious Croatian wines handpicked by your host. When we've finished delighting in all the fresh seafood flavours and delicious wine we will extend our stay on a beach located right in front of the house, where we can make the most of the location by taking a swim in the crystal blue Adriatic Sea or walking around the village*. The perfect way to round off a wonderful day. We'll then say our goodbyes, hop back aboard our vans and depart back to the port in Dubrovnik. *Note: swimming might be possible, depending on the weather conditions and a group dynamics/wishes.
