Why this package wins for nonprofits
Croatia has emerged as one of Europe's most sought-after destinations, and this package taps into that appetite with two specific anchors that drive bidding: a private guided walking tour of Dubrovnik—one of Europe's most photogenic medieval cities—and a winery visit with Dalmatian wine and cheese tasting, experiences that transform a vacation into a story worth sharing. The setting itself is intimate and private: a stone villa near the village of Dunave, positioned in the Konavle valley with panoramic mountain views and gardens, just 20 minutes from Dubrovnik airport, restaurants, and beaches. For your nonprofit, the consignment structure means zero financial risk. HGA has underwritten the entire package. You list it, donors bid, and you keep every dollar above the $7,495 reserve—making this an exceptionally clean way to raise unrestricted funds while offering bidders a tangible, memorable experience they cannot easily replicate on their own.
The experience your winner walks into
Two guests arrive to find themselves in a private three-bedroom, three-bathroom stone villa set in the Konavle valley, surrounded by forest and gardens that create an intimate escape. Early in the week, they take a 2-hour private guided walking tour of Dubrovnik, wandering the thousand-year-old stone streets and soaking in the Adriatic light. One afternoon they drive 20 minutes to a local winery for a Dalmatian wine and cheese tasting—a chance to taste the region's character in a glass and on a plate. Between excursions, the villa serves as their anchor: a comfortable base where the pace slows, meals taste like memory, and the view across the Konavle valley becomes the backdrop to every conversation. Beaches and restaurants remain close by, within easy reach by car, so they can venture out or stay in as the mood dictates. By the end of seven nights, they leave having experienced not a checklist, but a place—Dubrovnik's history, the Konavle's wines, and the quiet of a private villa that felt, briefly, like home.
