To Korčula across Pelješac
Korčula is an island. The shortest way there by road runs the length of the Pelješac peninsula to Orebić, then across the channel by ferry.
Ston comes first, about an hour out of Dubrovnik. After that the road passes the vineyards where Plavac Mali is grown. If you would like to visit a winery, say so when you book.
