The tour begins at a charming private farm where you will have the opportunity to learn about rural life and the production of local products. You'll be welcomed with a warm smile and surrounded with friendly farm animals and maybe even have a chance to try horse riding before setting off on your bike tour.
Short bike ride to the chapel of St. Barbara surrounded by 104 stećci (stone graves, slabs and chests), with the view of the entire rural region. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a fascinating piece of history, and you'll have the chance to admire the stunning stećci and learn about their cultural significance.
We embark on a leisurely 10-minute bike ride to Sokol Grad. Here, you'll take a walk through the entire Sokol fortress, taking in the atmosphere of this historic area.
We jump back on your bike and enjoy a scenic ride through stunning nature to the Konavle countryside. As you make your way through the countryside, you'll have plenty of opportunities to stop, rest, and enjoy a walk in nature. By the countryside, we’ll visit the old mills where you'll be treated to a presentation of the work of the mills and learn about their history and importance. Mills will be operated by hand of the local, in person. You'll also have the opportunity to taste some of the delicious food specialties that are produced here, made with the freshest ingredients and the expertise of local producers.
To round off your tour, we'll leave our bikes in front of the winery on Gruda and indulge in a delicious wine tasting experience, alone in the company of your tour group and a certified wine connoisseur. Walking through private vineyards, listening to the presentation of traditional winemaking, will leave you with insights into the delicate process. You'll have the opportunity to sample some of the finest wines produced in the area, accompanied by a platter of local delicacies. As you enjoy the flavors and aromas of the wine, you'll reflect on the wonderful memories you've made during your tour and look forward to your next visit to Konavle.

We had such a great experience biking through the countryside with Yuri. He was both kind and very knowledgeable and tailored our tour for our family.
This was one of my favorite experiences in Dubrovnik. The bike ride was beautiful and very manageable, but the people we met really made the experience special. The views were gorgeous, the stops were interesting, and it was a great way to get outside the city and see a different side of Croatia. A particular highlight was the winery visit. The owner, Renata, led the tasting herself and was wonderful. She was warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what she does. I learned a lot and loved hearing directly from her about the wines and the winery. Our guide was also fantastic: funny, engaging, and full of interesting information about the area. Our group spent most of the morning laughing and the entire experience felt relaxed and very welcoming. A genuinely memorable day.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear this was one of your favorite experiences in Dubrovnik. It’s great to know you enjoyed the bike ride, the beautiful views, and the chance to see a different side of Croatia, as well as the winery visit with Renata. We’re also very happy to hear that Yuri helped make the day fun, relaxed, and memorable. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back again in the future!
This tour was one of the absolute highlights of our time in Dubrovnik. It was the perfect escape from the busy Old Town, and our guide, Juraj, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience feel effortless. The ride was easy and enjoyable for all levels, it was mostly comfortable downhill cycling with just a few VERY small inclines. A major surprise was visiting St. Barbara’s, the region’s second UNESCO site—something we never would have discovered on our own. The planned stops along the route were thoughtful and informative, giving us a deeper look into Croatian history and culture. We especially appreciated the warm welcome at the historic mill, where the staff shared stories and traditions we wouldn’t have learned otherwise. The wine tasting at a family‑owned winery was a standout moment. The owner was incredibly informative, explaining the unique local vines and offering tastings of their wines, which were simply amazing. As two female travelers, we felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the entire tour. This experience was well‑organized, relaxed, and full of authentic local touches. If you’re looking to explore the rural side of Dubrovnik, this tour is a must do!
Dear Tara, Thanks so much for joining our tour! We are so happy to hear that you had a blast. Juraj is sending hugs your way and hopefully we get another chance to host you on our tours!
Our guide, Juri picked us up at the cruise terminal and drove us out of Dubrovnik to a small village of Dubravka, where our bike tour began. We visited the St. Barbara’s necropolis, a UNESCSO World Heritage Site. We continued down the road to Sokol Grad and stopped to tour the scenic fortress. Our next stop on the tour was a small nature preserve. We looked at the ancient viaducts and visited two small water powered mills that have been restored and actually operate today. Our final stop was a lovely winery. Our host gave us a short tour of the vineyards and then we tasted some fantastic wine and cheeses. We had a great time! We really enjoyed our guide, Juri. The bike tour was fun, scenic, informative and ending the tour at a great winery was perfect!
Dear Jeff, always a pleassure to host lovely people like you on our tours. Juri is sending best wishes from sunny Dubrovnik!
