Food & Wine Walk of Dubrovnik

Malvasija, a white grape sort grown in Konavle region, shares its name with sorts in Italy and Spain. Most likely originating from the Greeks, it was first recorded in the archives of Dubrovnik as early as 1383, when the Bosnian king Tvrtko I Kotromanić demanded to purchase a barrel. Malvasija was even sent to the Ottoman Empire, but labeled as ‘medicine’, as Islam prohibited consumption of alcohol. Today, this low-yielding sort is considered a demanding one, but in hard-working and skillful hands of Konavle vintners, it is undergoing a Renaissance.

Pairing Wine with Croatian Cuisine

In Croatia, the table isn’t just where meals are served—it’s where centuries of tradition are tasted. From the truffle-rich forests of Istria to the sun-baked vineyards of Pelješac, wine and food don’t just pair—they conspire. Picture this: a glass of golden Pošip catching the light as you bite into freshly grilled octopus, the salt of the sea still clinging to its edges. Or a bold Plavac Mali standing up to a slow-simmered pašticada, deep with memory and red wine. This is not a guide—it’s a journey. One that winds through ancient villages, secret cellars, and open-air kitchens where every bite tells a story, and every sip brings you closer to the soul of Croatia.
