Our next destination is the Pelješac peninsula. In Croatia, Pelješac is a synonym for red wines, or as the locals call it- black wine.
Pelješac is the second biggest Croatian peninsula situated in Dubrovnik county known for its natural beauty and for 2 brands, Ston and Dingač.
The first one is Ston, one of the very rare 100% planned and built Croatian cities on the Croatian coast, known for the –
the longest fortified system in Europe, Ston city walls
oldest active salt plant on the whole Mediterranean, still active and still producing salt as they did in the 14th century
and for a long tradition of growing oysters and muscles.
Another thing that Pelješac is known for, is red wine. The whole peninsula is basically a wine region and
Pelješac is home to the most famous red wine in Croatia, which got its name by the position where is grown – Dingač.
This position of Dingač is unique for its steep slopes, up t 70 degrees, and since 1964 its protected my Geneva convention for its authenticity.
Only the wine from these vineyards can be called Dingač and nowhere else in Croatia, or the World. It would be a shame to not taste some of that famous wine and that’s why we will stop at one of the local family-owned wineries for wine tasting.
Today you will see it all. Your route will go through the peninsula and through one of the most scenic roads through the Dingač region and along the way, and you will stop in one of the most famous local wineries for wine tasting.
Our cycling will finish in charming village Žuljana where you can stop for a swim on one of the many small beaches that Žuljana is known for.
If you would like to use a stand-up paddleboard, while enjoying the sea, it can be arranged with the previous announcement.
You would spend the afternoon and evening in Ston. We recommend walking the Ston walls as the main attraction in town.

The real deal
If you are coming to Croatia I heartily recommend Roberto P / Soul of Croatia to make your trip memorable and trouble free. Robi is an excellent organizer and very knowledgeable guide. He designed a cycling trip that gave me and my husband just the right amount of challenge and I finished feeling great. Croatia is so beautiful and he is incredibly generous with true insider info and connections. I will never forget the experiences and memories he made for us - and I have never before laughed so hard on a guided trip. I truly felt like he brought the Soul of Croatia to us.

Amazing vacation in Croatia
First time that we've been moved to make a post like this but just returned from a week long cycling trip in Croatia that is easily among the best vacations we have ever taken largely due to the expert organization and guidance provided by Robi of Soul of Croatia. Every day was truly a new adventure highlighted by beautiful rides, exceptional views, gorgeous weather, wonderful local food and people and Robi's commitment to ensuring that we fully enjoyed and appreciated the diversity and rich history that this beautiful country offers. Like everybody else in our group, we cannot wait to make a return trip and highly recommend Robi/Soul of Croatia to any others contemplating a trip to this part of the world. Thanks again Robi and we look forward to seeing you again soon. Michael and Joanne K

A Most Amazing Cycling Trip
Our cycling trip with Roberto was one of the best trips I have ever taken. And this is the second cycling trip I have done with Roberto. I didn’t possibly think he could outdo the excellence of the first trip, but Roberto did. The second trip also exceeded all of my expectations. Our group of eight friends were taken on a private Cycling tour carefully customized to meet all of our needs. Roberto picked daily Cycling adventures which brought us to exquisitely beautiful places in Croatia, and each day was more beautiful than the last. Roberto’s knowledge of Croatia, his connections to the local people, his passion for the history and customs of every place that we visited, could not be replicated by anyone else. Roberto personally took us on a tour of the old city of Dubrovnik, as well as the city of Ston, and he constantly provided us with knowledge of the local areas. Roberto chose restaurants for us, which were excellent and which served traditional delicious Croatian cuisine. Roberto had personal connections to many of the restaurants and wineries we visited which meant we were provided with the highest level of service. Both before, and after our trip, Roberto assisted us with any other excursions and bookings we were interested in. After our trip was complete he personally took us on a boat tour where we swam in amazing caves. It was an exceptional trip, and I cannot recommend Roberto and Soul of Croatia highly enough to anybody who would like to experience Croatia as it should be experienced.
