Meet your food-loving guide at Pile Gate, the grand entrance to the UNESCO-listed Dubrovnik Old Town. Then, set off along the Stradun, also known locally as Placa, into the medieval core of the city. As you stroll along this elegant main street, listen to your guide share fascinating insights into Croatian cuisine, and pick up a tantalizing ice cream from a street vendor.

Wandering along the labyrinthine streets, see the Franciscan Monastery, which contains a 14th-century cloister. See the restored sculpture, Michelangelo’s La Pietà, and pass by the Rector’s Palace, the impressive Orlando’s Column and other top sights. Along the way, stop in at a popular wine bar, where you’ll sample local wine during a guided wine tasting. With an expert leading the session, savor three different varietals, paired with regional specialties such as prosciutto ham and locally produced cheese, and learn how to identify the varying aromas and ingredients. With your appetite piqued, continue to a local restaurant to indulge in a 3-course lunch. Choose from a fish or meat menu and sink your teeth into delectable dishes that might include grilled squid with green potatoes, or succulent chicken breast served with grilled spinach risotto. After lunch, your tour concludes back at the original start point.
