MONTENEGRO
Ride a little, taste a lot. Seven days of easy e-bike rides between a wine cellar built inside a mountain, family vineyards above Lake Skadar, the smokehouses of Njeguši and mussels pulled from the Bay of Kotor an hour before lunch.
Your guide meets you at Podgorica Airport and takes you straight to the Šipčanik Wine Cellar. Step inside and the world outside disappears: oak barrels stretch into the dim light, and you taste Montenegro’s finest reds and whites wines with a carefully paired set menu.
In the afternoon, you continue to Virpazar on the shore of Lake Skadar. After check-in, dinner is fresh lake fish on the water’s edge.
Overnight: Lakeside hotel, Virpazar
After breakfast, you meet your e-bikes and your cycling guide. The ride climbs gently out of Virpazar into Crmnica, a valley of stone villages, chestnut trees and terraced vineyards, with stops for photos above the lake. At a family winery, you taste Vranac and Kratošija straight from the cellar.
In the afternoon, a private boat takes you onto Lake Skadar, the largest lake in the Balkans and home to the Dalmatian pelican. Lunch is smoked carp and marinated bleak, the lake’s own specialties, at a lakeside restaurant.
Overnight: Lakeside hotel, Virpazar
Morning coffee by the arched stone bridge of Rijeka Crnojevića, one of the most picturesque spots in the country. You continue to Cetinje, Montenegro’s old royal capital, for a walk past former embassies and royal palaces.
In Njeguši, you visit a family smokehouse where prosciutto is still cured in the mountain air, and taste it with cheese and honey wine. The Lovćen cable car then carries you down to the Bay of Kotor, with the whole bay opening below you.
Overnight: 4★ hotel, Kotor
You ride the flat waterfront road from Kotor toward Perast, past baroque palaces, small churches and stone harbours. In Perast, a boat takes you to Our Lady of the Rocks. Lunch is at a mussel farm in Orahovac: you watch the mussels pulled from the bay, then taste them with fresh bread, olive oil and white wine. Afternoon free in Kotor’s Old Town, dinner by the water.
Overnight: 4★ hotel, Kotor
A short transfer takes you to the Luštica Peninsula, still one of the most unspoiled corners of the coast. You ride through olive groves to the villages of Rose and Klinci, with an olive oil tasting in a family grove and a lunch of grilled fish by the sea.
In the afternoon, you check in at your 5★ hotel on the water in Herceg Novi. In the evening, you tour the Savina Winery and stay for dinner with its signature wines.
Overnight: 5★ hotel, Herceg Novi
A private sailboat leaves from the hotel’s pier for Mamula Fortress and the Blue Cave, where you swim in the glowing water. Back at the hotel, the afternoon is yours for the spa or the pool. The farewell gala dinner is on the waterfront, with the bay turning gold at sunset.
Overnight: 5★ hotel, Herceg Novi
After breakfast, a private transfer takes you to Tivat (30 minutes) or Dubrovnik Airport (about 1 hour).
