Hands-on Dalmatian cooking day outside Dubrovnik, in a family estate kitchen. Pick produce, cook 4 courses, and feast with wine.
“Absolutely incredible experience. We were not sure what to expect but it exceeded our expectations. The family was lovely and the experience from start to finish was truly amazing. We are already talking about coming back and adding this to our agenda again!”
Hands-on Dubrovnik countryside cooking with bread making, garden harvest, farm stories, and a full meal plus homemade wine in 5 hours.
“Simply incredible people, lovely atmosphere, and incredible garden. Food delicious!! You prepare soup, main dishes, and dessert. Hands on and fun to tour the multigenerational farm.”
Paint a tote bag, taste local wines, and enjoy farm-to-table bites in a small Dubrovnik Old Town studio. 2 hours, $100.
“What a wonderful experience! Great food and wine paired with a fun activity. Our local hostess was lovely and made us feel right at home. The bags were soft and easy to decorate and were very helpful to use for the rest of our trip. Not to mention, they’re a wonderful momento! I would highly recommend doing this activity if you’re looking for something that’s authentic and creative.”
Cook Dubrovnik-area peka in Mokošica, learn the bell-dome technique, enjoy homemade wine, and eat a hearty lunch in about 4 hours.
“If you want to get to a really authentic out-of-the-way place in the hills near Dubrovnik for a delicious meal cooked in the traditional way with oak fire, hot bricks and iron bell cooking pot, do this. Yes, it's a bit pricey but wow for the food and for the scenic views. The restaurant is a converted railway station and along the way you will see lots of bunkers left over from the war, and the driver will be happy to tell the stories from times past.”
