How much is a glass of wine in Dubrovnik?

The average price of a pint of beer in Dubrovnik is between €5-€7 (£4.50-£6.15), a glass of wine is around the same price and a typical meal for two can cost anywhere between €25 and €50 (£22 and £44)! Therefore, it's safe to say that food and drink are pretty expensive in Dubrovnik!



In 2026, the price of a glass of wine in Dubrovnik reflects the city's status as a premium Mediterranean destination. If you are sitting in a "Gold Standard" wine bar within the historic Old Town or at a restaurant with a view of the Adriatic, expect to pay between €8 and €15 per glass for a local Croatian vintage like Plavac Mali or Pošip. A grounded reality check: prices have increased significantly since Croatia joined the Eurozone, and "tourist trap" locations near the Stradun may charge even more. For a more supportive and budget-friendly experience, heading to smaller "Konobas" (traditional taverns) in the side streets or in the Gruž harbor area can lower the price to €5 or €6 for a "house" wine. A supportive peer tip: Croatian wine is often served in smaller 0.1L or 0.125L pours; if you want a larger glass, you might need to order a "carafe." While Dubrovnik is far from "cheap" in 2026, the quality of the local Dalmatian grapes provides a high-fidelity culinary experience that many travelers find worth the "Old City" premium.
