Founder of Sights & Bites Dubrovnik Food and Wine Walking Tour — a culinary experience rooted in history, family, culture, and the flavors of Croatia's most iconic coastal city.
Born in Jamaica and raised in America by Croatian parents, Chef Richard has always had one foot in each world. With family living in Dubrovnik and a lifelong connection to the region, he saw the city not just as a destination, but as part of his own story.
Using his American upbringing, hospitality background, and a chef's eye for storytelling, he created Dubrovnik's first food tour — giving visitors a more delicious and personal way to experience the city beyond the walls, crowds, and postcard views.
Sights & Bites was built to showcase the Dubrovnik Richard knows and loves: its local flavors, family traditions, Croatian wines, hidden corners, and the people who keep the city's culinary soul alive.
The tour blends history, culture, and carefully chosen food and wine stops into an experience that feels warm, authentic, and deeply connected to place.
Every stop on the tour is chosen for its connection to Dubrovnik's layered past — stories you won't find in a guidebook.
Fresh, locally sourced tastings paired with Croatian wines selected to reflect the character and terroir of the region.
Rooted in Richard's own family connections to Dubrovnik, Sights & Bites introduces guests to the people behind the food.
Beyond Sights & Bites, Chef Richard created The Gourmet Vacation — a boutique culinary travel company crafting chef-led journeys around the world for travelers who believe food is the greatest passport.
Chef Richard invites you to discover the city as someone who is both a local by heritage and a traveler by nature — sharing the stories, flavors, and family-rooted connections that make Dubrovnik unforgettable.
