A scenic speedboat ride across the beautiful Bay of Kotor brings you to the island of Our Lady of the Rocks. This iconic church and its small museum entice you inside to explore both the architecture and the legend behind the island.
Head to Risan Bay — famed for the rather unusual Underwater Wine Experience. Here, innovation and tradition meld beautifully, as fine wines are aged beneath the sea. The constant temperature, gentle current, and complete darkness cause the wine to mature faster and develop a smooth, refined character — a whole new twist on terroir. Your host will retrieve some bottles directly from the seawater, and you'll evaluate the results for yourself, tasting wines nurtured by the Adriatic Sea and paired with local seafood delicacies.
Relax on the boat ride back to Kotor with a newfound appreciation for Balkan innovation.
Please note: Tour requires light to moderate walking. Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, cobblestones, gravel, inclines, and steps. Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses; wear biodegradable/reef-safe sunscreen. Bring bottled water. Bring a light jacket or windbreaker — it can be breezy on the water. Guests prone to motion sickness should consider this before booking and/or take appropriate medication.
