We have returned to Dubrovnik on the second leg of our journey.
Today, our coach took us through the charming countryside and villages of the Konavle Valley.
Near the village of Komaji, we stopped at the Crvik family winery which has produced wine since the 16th century. One of the sons who is taking over the business shared some of Croatia's wine history. We sat at long tables, conversed with our fellow travellers while tasting 3 wines along with cheese and bread.
We also stopped at the Novakovic family winery which also has produced their own wine and olive oil for generations. They had an interesting little museum. Our guide explained how the ancient tools of the trade were used. Again we sat at tables, visited with our fellow travellers while sampling wines, potent liqueurs, prosciutto and cheese. They also gave us apple strudel for dessert. Our gracious hosts performed traditional Croatian music, as well as a medley of American songs and an Australian song for our Aussie friends. They knew their audience. It was quite fun. We sang along with them.
Sounds like you could have been a bit tipsy😳
