Guided Bike Tour of Split with Wine Tasting

Take a guided bike tour of Split and sample the region's local Croatian wines on this activity combining sport and culinary culture!

Your guided bike tour of Split will start beneath the mural on Plinarska Street. With your experienced guide, you will cycle through the vibrant Varoš district and head towards the Poljud stadium, an architectural marvel that is home to Hajduk Split, one of Croatia's oldest football clubs. During the outdoor tour of the stadium, you'll learn about the Mediterranean Games, Hajduk's chequered history and the passionate Torcida fans who fill the stadium with an atmosphere like no other on match days.

From Poljud, the guided bike tour of Split continues to Marjan, the "lungs" of the Croatian capital, a lush hill offering breathtaking views of the city and the sea. Along the way, you'll pause in Bene, where you'll discover the intriguing origins of Zinfandel, a grape variety with a surprising link to the Dalmatian coast. On the way up Marjan, a stop at the Institute and the picturesque church of St. Jere will give you a moment of tranquillity in the midst of a lush green landscape. Next, you will cross Varoš to the quay of Matejuška, a timeless Split social centre that has been a popular meeting point for locals for decades.

Your guide will tell you a few anecdotes about the grandiose Diocletian's Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site that served as the retirement home of the Roman emperor Diocletian and is now the lively centre of the city. From here, you'll walk along the vibrant Riva promenade, through the bustling Pazar market and under the majestic Golden Gate, a testament to Split's rich Roman heritage.

The grand finale of this guided bike tour of Split is a wine tasting at Jelaska House, located just opposite the Croatian National Theatre. The tour ends with a toast at a charming venue, where you can sample delicious local wines, complemented by the traditional flavours of local cheeses and prosciutto!
