Vineyard & Olives of Vardia
Overview
My family has been farming with love for generations. They came to Dubrovnik in 14 century and cultivating the land for Dubrovnik nobility on whose land we are today. Enjoy the biggest classroom on the world – open air nature surroundings of Dubrovnik!
Description
Stop At: Dubrovnik, Dubrovnik, Dubrovnik-Neretva County, Dalmatia
I will show you the techniques I have collected during the years spent with my grandfather and father in the field. You will touch and feel olive and vine leaves and branches.
We will pick you up in front of your hotel or meeting point and take you to Vardia hill (Malaštica) only 15 min from Dubrovnik Old town. After arrival, we start hiking toward the vineyard and 1st garden of olives with 22 trees. On the way to the vineyard, you can expect 15 min hiking where you will enjoy fresh air, beautiful nature, and a spectacular view to Župa Dubrovačka above the Adriatic Sea. After we arrived we stopped for a welcome drink - a homemade spirit with local herbs flavor or sweet walnut liquor following by
introduction about vineyard and olives cultivating. While you walking through the farm I will prepare olive oil and home wine tasting. In the end, we walk together down the hill to transfer the location and drive you to the hotel.

I gained knowledge from Ivica about Vinyard and olive cultivating. He offered all his knowledge and passion about family farm. Recommended!

Our experience was AMAZING. It was so cool to see how passionate the owner is about what he does. It’s a family business, and we learned more about his family’s past and their business. His wife made the best homemade bread I’ve ever had for us to try with the olive oil, which was incredible. Each wine was incredible, and I come from a family that really loves and appreciates good wine. I really enjoyed the lemon and walnut liqueur as well, and the candied almonds were addictive!! The owner was so friendly and excited to have us, and it was so fun learning more about his process of farming. And that view was breathtaking!! Highly recommend visiting and taking a tour.This is a must do while in Dubrovnik. Ivaca was a wonderful host and knew so much about farming. We started with a tour of the olive trees and vineyards and ended with an olive oil and wine tasting at sunset. We couldn’t have asked for a better evening.

I want to thank Ivica and his wife for all their help over the past few months. I reached out to Ivica on Instagram asking him if he would be able to help prepare my planned proposal, his response did not let me down and I knew straight away that he was the perfect person to help deliver this. Ivica and his wife set up a beautiful table with homebaked bread, different foods, olive oils and of course the wines and liquors which was simply outstanding! We look forward to visiting you again and I cannot wait to buy some more of the amazing Lemon Liquor!

Ivica and his wife created the most perfect proposal in their beautiful vineyard. The most personal wine tasting experience we have been on. The vineyard itself was filled with amazing grapes, olives, almonds and figs all of which we learnt about and was able to try. We had the most beautiful table set up with candles, flowers and an amazing charcuterie board. The lemon liquor was one of our favourites. Thank you for such an amazing experience we can't wait to return.Small family driven vineyard - very unique and personal experience. We had an amazing sunset together with great wine.
