Dubrovnik to Korčula with a stop in Ston
Korčula is an island, and the most direct way there by car is along the Pelješac peninsula to Orebić, then a short ferry across the channel.
On the way we stop in Ston, and the road across Pelješac passes through the area where the Plavac Mali red wine is made. If you want to visit a winery, mention it when you enquire.
