ABOUT THIS ITINERARY
One day on Pelješac holds the peninsula’s two halves: the fortified and salted east at Ston, and the wine country of the ridge and channel at the west. This itinerary walks the walls before the heat, eats the bay’s oysters at their source, crosses the island’s spine to the Dingač terraces for a cellar afternoon, and finishes at the channel coast with the ferry-light view toward Korčula. Times are guidance, not a schedule; a car is needed.
OVERVIEW
The route at a glance
The day runs east to west: Ston’s walls and pans first, the Mali Ston oyster lunch second, the ridge road and the Dingač wine country through the afternoon, and the channel coast at dusk. Every leg is short-drive; the order puts the unshaded walk in the coolest hours and the tastings after them.
THE SCHEDULE
Day by day
Walls, oysters and the wine road
The Walls of Ston and the salt pans in the morning, an oyster lunch at Mali Ston, the Dingač wine road and a cellar tasting in the afternoon, and the channel coast to close.

Oyster lunch at Mali Ston
1.5 hoursThe bay’s oysters at the farm edge — raw, lemoned, with bread and a cold Pošip — at the sheds under the walls of Mali Ston.

The wine road and the Dingač tunnel
2 hoursDrive the ridge road through Janjina to Potomje and through the Dingač tunnel to the seaward terraces — the peninsula’s signature landscape.

2 hoursA Dingač or Postup tasting at a cellar above the water near Trstenik or the Postup slopes — the day’s slow finish with the channel below.
