Peljesac Peninsula , a place where sun, sea and stone create a perfect home for Plavac Mali , indigenous Dalmatian variety that brings out the best from the "barren land" and gives us "divine nectar." Marlais family, that drags roots from France, settled on the peninsula in the early 17th century, bringing with them the knowledge that every Frenchman has in its blood - how to make good wine.

Anton gave us a tour of the facility and we got to see how the wine goes from harvest to bottling at the this family owned establishment. Anton was so personable and proud of his product. We had the 3 wine tasting menu with 1 white and 2 reds. All were excellent. If I could figure out a way to ship them to the US I would have bought a few cases. The carob Sherry was insanely good. I definitely recommend a stop at this winery.

Although comparisons are made to The Great Wall of China this is a major exaggeration since at just over 4 miles they don't even match Hadrian's Wall at 73 miles long. That said, they are still well worth seeing. The walls stretch out over the hillside above Ston and it's possible to walk along a continuous length of them right over to the attractive little town of Mali Ston on the other side. Entry fee is 70 Kuna (£8.50) per adult which includes access to Fort Veliki Kastio. The latter is just a shell but provides a good lookout point. Options exist to walk around the walls overlooking Ston itself, a short but steep climb and descent which includes a few turrets or to take the very steep route over to Mali Ston (veer to the right if coming from Ston). We did both and can testify it's a good workout, especially if like us you walk it back over the wall from Mali Ston too! It is possible to return on a less arduous route by following a footpath which runs alongside the road between the towns but of course you don't get the views. There is a section of wall which has still to be restored and was off-limits at the time of our visit, as was Koruna Fortress at Mali Ston which had restoration work in progress. The path on the Mali Ston side between the walls and town is a bit rough and ready however I'd recommend sturdy footwear for the wall walk in any case. Apart from the exercise you can take in good views over Ston and it's salt flats (the salt was a large part of why the wall was built) and there are several nice restaurants in Mali Ston which is a picturesque little place to get refreshments. We spent around 5 hours exploring the walls, towns and having lunch in between. Take a camera, some water and enjoy the relative peace in comparison to Dubrovnik's more popular walls.

We stopped here for a tasting and were not disappointed. It is a family winery that makes top quality wines (and olive oil) without being pretentious. Left with multiple bottles of red wine and olive oil!
