Winery Botaro in Drvenik, open JuneOctober.

Winery Botaro occupies a restored 18th-century stone estate in the Konavle region, originally built as a family homestead and agricultural property before its transformation into a working winery and event venue.

The building retains its original Dalmatian architecture while incorporating modern hospitality facilities, preserving centuries of Croatian coastal heritage.

Set across 20 hectares of vineyards, the property produces over 50,000 bottles annually and hosts intimate celebrations within its historic walls.

We booked a 3 hour wine tasting here in the afternoon and couldn't have been happier with our experience! It's a family run business and they truly love what they do. I was surprised at how much wine we were served, plus the amazing lunch and the liqueurs. They make all their own cheese, plus the wines, candied orange peel and many other products. Their wines are truly unique and can't be purchased in stores. We loved our afternoon learning about their family business and tasting all their wonderful products. We took an Uber from Dubrovnik, but you could also go there from Cavtat and it would be closer. It's easy to email them and set up a time and day, don't show up unannounced! It's so beautiful and peaceful there at their winery. It's truly and memorable experience, don't miss it when in the area, it was a highlight of our trip!
