What an incredible experience! Save your time reading and just book it now: well worth the time, well worth the money. Damir has crafted a tour here that is so unique, and so representative of the area -- you'll get to learn and experience (and taste!) a lot, and you'll get to do it all in half a day!
My partner and I were the only participants on our particular day, so it turned into, essentially, a private tour. Damir is so easy to talk to and get along with, and the time spent in transit between locations just flew by. We visited Ston to view the fortifications around the town, as well as the saltworks (where we were briefed on the history of salt and salt production in the area by one of the employees). We then headed towards the Peljesac peninsula for our next stop, Milos Winery. As we were the only people there, this also turned into a private tour. We were shown the various cellars, got briefed on their production history, were able to ask questions, and then it was off to the main event: the wine tasting! We tried four different wines -- all of them organic, all of them outstanding -- as well as a selection of cheeses, bread, fresh-cut tomatoes, and olive oil.
We then finished over in Mali Ston, visiting the Gusta Me oyster farm, where we had a baker's dozen of some of the most delicious oysters we've ever had. Definitely worthy of the "Queen of the Oysters" mantle! This was accompanied by a bottle of very fine white wine and a very generous portion (probably between 3lb and 4lb!) of freshly cooked mussels from the bay. The scenery was definitely the cherry on top of this sublime lunch experience.
Honestly, even knowing what this tour offers, we'd probably do it again just to experience it in a different season. Hvala, Damir, for helping us create such wonderful memories on this day!
