Konavle Wine Train

OVERVIEW
Ride a mini-train between several of the most prestigious wineries in the Konavle Valley and enjoy a tasting at each one. As an introduction to this revered wine region, you will first visit the Brajkovic family vineyard and sample several varietals that reflect the local terroir. You will then ride an open-air mini-train with wheels along a picturesque road to nearby Ljuta, a village with numerous centuries-old water mills. You will see how flour was traditionally milled and how wool was once processed for folkloric costumes that many residents still wear daily. A deeper immersion into wine-making follows, starting at the Vodopic Vineyard, where Marastina, Merlot and Malvasia grapes flourish. The exact wines for sampling will be chosen upon your arrival. The same holds true at the Ivo Karaman Winery, where you will not only taste a selection of delightful wines but also savor a traditional peasant's brunch of bacon and onions.
