Croatian food is one of the Mediterranean's great undiscovered cuisines — built on extraordinary raw ingredients, shaped by centuries of Italian influence, and served with a directness and generosity that is entirely Dalmatian. A food tour is the best two hours you can spend in any Croatian city.
Croatian food deserves far more international recognition than it gets. The Dalmatian coast produces world-class olive oil, outstanding indigenous cheese varieties, exceptional cured meats (pršut — Croatian prosciutto — is air-dried in the Bora wind for months), and some of the freshest seafood in the Mediterranean, served simply with local herbs and olive oil.
Our food tours in Split and Dubrovnik take you through the markets, family-run delis, fish markets and local bakeries that most tourists walk straight past. You'll taste fresh buzara (seafood stew with wine and garlic), hand-made peka (lamb or octopus slow-cooked under a bell in embers), local cheese from Pag Island, and artisan breads from bakers who've been at the same spot for three generations.
The tour also covers Croatian wine basics — you'll taste Plavac Mali and Pošip alongside the food at producer stops, understanding which local grape variety works with which dish. For those wanting to go further, combine the food tour with a Croatian cooking class in the afternoon, or extend into a wine tasting tour on the Pelješac peninsula. Dalmatian gastronomy is one of the great reasons to visit Croatia.
