Join Ivica Vlašić at his family’s Vardia farm, a 15-minute drive from Dubrovnik Old Town. Walk among ancient olive terraces, vines, fruit trees, and oak forest, then taste homemade bread, organic olive oil, white wine, and fruit liqueurs above the Adriatic.

“This amazing farm has, history, beauty, great wine and oil. We walked through the olive trees on ancient terraces, so many things to see, pomegranate, winter orange, wild flowers, olives, bay trees, rosemary. Homemade bread, shortbread and apricot jam. Delicious liquor made from walnuts, yes, also grown on the farm. Ivica is a delightful host and guide. It's his family farm, his passion and what a magical place it is.”
