The gastronomic and oenological offer of Konavle is an integral part of the entire tourist offer, the sentiment and the atmosphere of the Konavle region.
The restaurants and konobas in Cavtat base their gastronomic offer on the Dalmatian and Mediterranean cuisine: fish, vegetables and olive oil, and they seek for and follow the modern gastronomic trends. In numerous taverns and rural houses, the inland of Konavle offers traditionally prepared plain fare and healthy food in a unique atmosphere of the old Konavle houses. Different meat and fish dishes prepared in the stone oven, domestic smoked ham and cheese in oil, green pasta and other domestic dishes represent only an exclusive supplement to the Dalmatian fish cuisine and offer opposed possibilities of choice, but always with the same pleasure.
Naturally, a good meal asks for a good wine. Konavle, counting also its wine-growing district to its landmarks, has an appropriate production of quality and autochthonous wines. Next to the internationally known types of wine such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon also numerous local and autochthonous types are cultivated, such as Plavac Mali, Kadarun, Dalmatinka and others. Among them all, the autochthonous and domestic type of the Dubrovnik Malvasia blanc takes a special place. It has been almost completely destroyed, and great importance was placed on its preservation and renewal. Numerous winegrowers from Konavle, who follow international trends, produce authentic and quality wines that exquisitely go along with the domestic gastronomic delicacies.
