The itinerary also includes Capri and Taormina, Italy; Kotor, Montenegro; and Dubrovnik and Hvar, Croatia.Mr. Dunham is passionate about fine wine and will share his knowledge with travelers about the wine-making process in the form of lectures, Q&A sessions, and wine tastings. He'll also lead an exclusive seven-and-a-half-hour shore excursion to the wineries of Croatia. The day will begin with a drive along the Adriatic Coast to Komaji to visit winemaker Andro Crvik. Afterward, guests will move along to Orasac for a food tasting and a visit to Milos Winery in Ponikve Village. Then, the tour will visit the "oyster capital" of Croatia—Mali Ston—for a lunch of fresh-caught seafood and fine local wines.
