Amazing Private Tour with Dragan!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience on this private homemade food and wine tour with Dragan! Before the tour even began, he was incredibly accommodating when we needed to change our meetup time, making everything easy and stress-free. He picked us up in a comfortable, air-conditioned van, which was much appreciated on a hot day. Along the drive, he happily stopped at several scenic viewpoints so we could take photos of Montenegro's breathtaking landscapes. The homemade food was absolutely delicious, and the local wines were excellent. Dragan shared interesting information about the area, making the experience feel personal and authentic rather than rushed. If you're looking for a relaxed, private tour with incredible food, wine, beautiful scenery, and a thoughtful guide, we highly recommend booking with Dragan

Beautiful drive through...
Beautiful drive through the mountains, very windy road to the destination. Dragon is very nice and informative. Learned about his family and making prosciutto and sausage. Had a nice charcuterie board with family made wine. Delicious food and drink. We really enjoyed our afternoon!! Highly recommend!!

Amazing tour and food!
Excellent tour where we not only learned about the history of Montenegro but also saw a lot of the beautiful sights. Our guide Alex picked us up at our cruise port. He was in constant communication with us up until pick up. He drove us to key photo spots along the way to his family home. When we arrived we were greeted by his uncle, had a tour of the smoke house and learned how their prosciutto is made. They also toured us through an area in the home which is 300 yrs old. We ate meats and cheeses tasted homemade wine and other moonshine liquor that was homemade. We learned a lot about the country its vast history and got to see a broad area of the countryside. When the tour ended Alex was kind enough to walk us to a local restaurant where we were meeting friends for lunch and shopping. The tour was 3.5 hrs and Alex ensured we made it back to our cruise ontime. We also bought prosciutto and dried sausage from him to take home with us. It was vacuum sealed so its easily transported home. I strongly recommend this tour!!

Private tour: Homemade food and wine tasting at my family home: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kotor.
How much does Private tour: Homemade food and wine tasting at my family home cost?
+
Prices start at $183 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kotor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private tour: Homemade food and wine tasting at my family home take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kotor is not rushed.
Is Private tour: Homemade food and wine tasting at my family home worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 53 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kotor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private tour: Homemade food and wine tasting at my family home?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private tour: Homemade food and wine tasting at my family home suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private tour: Homemade food and wine tasting at my family home?
+
Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kotor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kotor and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private tour: Homemade food and wine tasting at my family home start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kotor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kotor?
+
On Outty we rank every Kotor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kotor Bay Escape: Blue Cave, Beach & Swimming Time, Great Montenegro Tour-Lovcen NP,Mausoleum Lovcen,River of Crnojevic,Sveti Stefan, Exclusive Blue Cave Kotor Swim, Mamula&Lady of the Rock 3 Hour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kotor?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kotor?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
