Detailed itinerary

Prepare for one of the most memorable afternoons of your vacation! The Korcula Bike & Wine Tour provides a perfect mix of activity and enjoyment.

We'll be waiting for you at Plokata square, by the circular metal monument (water fountain).

We will help you get set up on bikes and fit helmets before we set off on our Bike & Wine Tour.

Very Important: Before booking, please ensure you and all participants understand the cycling requirements. By default, this is a mountain bike tour. The route includes hills, gravel trails, and potentially hot weather, conditions that may be too challenging for novice riders. E-bikes are available for an additional cost but are not recommended for inexperienced cyclists.

If anyone in your group prefers not to cycle, we can provide direct transfers to the wineries so they can meet the group there and enjoy the wine.

Cycle through beautiful countryside and stone-walled paths with sweeping views of the sea and Lumbarda village. Along the way, we’ll pause to share insights into local life, wine traditions, and the agricultural heritage that makes this part of the island so special.

Your reward comes as we roll into Lumbarda, home to Korcula’s most prized wines. You’ll visit two idyllic, family-run wineries where you’ll taste Grk, a rare indigenous white variety grown almost exclusively here, alongside Posip and other local wines. One winery also serves a delicious platter of homemade delicacies: cheeses, charcuterie and olive oil that complement beautifully with the wines.

The tastings are generous, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the experience is relaxed and unhurried. It feels less like a traditional tour and more like spending an afternoon with friends.

When you’re joyfully full of wine and food. We take care of everything. Your bike returns by van, and you return to town comfortably by transfer, no cycling required.

Important information

Not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries

Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health

Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness

Important note about the cycling. By default, bikes are mountain bikes (ebikes may be possible, subject to availability and at an extra cost). We highly recommend that you have a good level of fitness and cycling experience. You will cycle around 10kms which includes several hills. The route may include some unlevel surfaces and off-road terrain. Also, keep in mind it gets very hot on Korcula, especially from late June until the end of August, and you will be cycling in the sun. We would class the ride as moderate, but the hills and heat can be more of a challenge for novice riders. Although the ride is leisurely, we need to ensure you will be comfortable to complete the ride.

Meeting point

Please meet us at "Plokata" square in Korcula Town next to the circular metal monument (water fountain). The square is located next to the OTP bank.
