Discover the flavours, people and traditions of southern Croatia through our carefully curated private food, wine and cooking experiences.

OUR EXPERIENCES

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Food is how we tell the story of our region

Gourmets of Dubrovnik is a small local team of food and wine lovers. We design private experiences around the people who grow, cook and pour what you taste — family kitchens in Konavle, winemakers on Pelješac and the traditions of Dubrovnik's Old Town.

No crowds and no scripts — just good food, unhurried time and genuine hospitality.

OUR HOSTS

Real People. Real Stories.

Behind every table is a family. Recipes passed down through generations, olive groves tended by hand, wine made the way it has always been made in these valleys.

We bring you to them — so you leave not only with new recipes, but with friends in southern Croatia.
