Croatia · FARMS
Every trip has one free day too few. These 4 farm visits justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the fun part.
Ivica Vlašić leads a small-group visit to his family farm near Dubrovnik. Walk among olive trees, vines, orchards, and old oak, then taste homemade olive oil, bread, white wine, fruit liqueurs, and seasonal produce.
“What a great experience! Everything was seamless from pickup, to tour of vineyards and olive groves. The grapa, walnut liquor, and white wine were amazing. This is a must on my to do list.”
At Olivo Istriano near Buje, Rene or André leads a small English-language walk through fruit orchards, olive groves and vineyards. You will learn how extra virgin olive oil is made, taste several local products, share an Istrian board under a tree, and finish with artisan ice cream and olive oil.
“Sehr interassente zwei Stunden mit Besuch der Plantage, Olivenölverkostung und lokale Speisen im wunderschönen Garten. Selbst unseren beiden Teenies hat es gefallen. Ist in der Nähe von Umag.”
Travel from Dubrovnik with guide Marko to Majkovi, Ston, Mali Ston, and Curlin Winery in Ponikve. You’ll see wide Adriatic views, walk beside historic fortifications, taste local oysters, and ride in an air-conditioned vehicle. Oyster tasting and boat transport cost extra.
“Had a fantastic day out with Marko. Very informative and catered to our trip. Would fully recommend this trip if you are in Croatia and Marko does other tours.”
At a family-run donkey farm in Šmrika, near Rijeka, Krk, and Crikvenica, you can feed and groom donkeys, let children up to 35 kg ride twice, and take two cart-driving turns. A guided farm walk covers breeding, donkey milk, endangered Croatian donkeys, native animals, and Kvarner Bay views.
Pick a harbour, a rampart or a waterfall.
