Herzegovina Wine Route

The hidden side of the mediterranean.

Welcome to the Herzegovina Wine Route, a journey that will take you through the stunning southern region of Bosnia and Herzegovina!

The Herzegovina Wine Route is a unity between the region’s authentic quality wines and the hospitality of its people and home to around 30 wineries, vast vineyards, great gastronomy ranging from hearty rustic dishes to elevated culinary experiences, and quality accommodations, all linked by their shared commitment to regional winemaking traditions.

Herzegovina is known for its Mediterranean climate, breathtaking landscapes, and authentic cultural heritage, attracting visitors from around the world. As you explore the dramatic Herzegovinian karst landscape, you will be treated to sweeping views of expansive vineyards, embedded with an historical thread that has contributed to the culture of local communities. The production of celebrated, quality regional wine is deeply rooted in the Herzegovinian landscape, and the region’s exceptional wine pairs perfectly with the warm hospitality of its people.

Today, Herzegovina is known for a selection of authentic wines, the most notable being Žilavka, Blatina, Trnjak, and Vranac. Come and explore the Herzegovina Wine Route, and discover a landscape that will sate all your senses. From the patient, strong grapevines to the warm hospitality of the locals, you will be treated to a journey through a land that is touched by sun and wind, producing distinctive regional wines that have been enjoyed throughout history.

The Herzegovina Wine Route (HWR) was established in 2007 by the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton Tourism Board as part of a project funded by the European Union. On that occasion, the initial mapping and networking of key stakeholders were carried out, laying down solid foundations for HWR’s future development. With the support of the U.S. Government through the USAID Turizam project, in 2020 the BiH Foreign Trade Chamber commenced activities on the revitalization of the HWR, with the aim of establishing the region as a leading wine tourism destination.

Presenting the HWR Varieties

This red wine is characterized by its deep color and full-bodied flavor, making it a popular choice for pairing with hearty stews and game dishes. Blatina is aged in oak barrels, which adds a touch of vanilla and smoky notes to the wine, creating a rich and complex flavor profile. The grape is grown in the rocky and dry terrain of Herzegovina, which gives the wine its distinctive taste.

Zilavka is a white wine with delicate floral and citrus notes that pairs perfectly with trout, cheese, and other light dishes. It is often aged in oak barrels, which adds complexity to the wine and creates a rich texture. The grape is grown in the rocky soils of Herzegovina, which gives it a distinctive minerality and a long finish.

Vranac is a well-known grape variety in the Balkans, and Herzegovina is no exception. This red wine is known for its rich, fruity flavor, with notes of blackberry, raspberry, and plum. It is aged in oak barrels, which adds complexity to the wine and creates a rich and velvety texture. The grape is grown in the rocky soils of Herzegovina, which give it a unique and intense flavor.

This red wine is a lesser-known variety in Herzegovina but is equally delicious and unique. Trnjak is characterized by its deep color and intense flavor, with notes of blackberry, cherry, and tobacco. It is often aged in oak barrels, which adds a touch of vanilla and smoky notes to the wine, creating a complex and layered flavor profile. The grape is grown in the stony and arid soils of Herzegovina, which give it a distinctive and robust taste.

Some of the must see places across Herzegovina!

HWR is Iter Vitis Certified

Iter Vitis is part of the Cultural Route of the Council of Europe, which celebrates some of Europe’s most distinctive wine destinations alongside their beautiful landscapes, preserved way of life, and cultural-historical, and material heritage. As of September 2022, the Herzegovina Wine Route in Bosnia and Herzegovina is recognized as the new member of the Iter Vitis, joining other well-known routes and destinations.

Seven day wine tour

Two day wine tour

Why a minimum of 2 days.

We do not offer day tours because we want to spend time with you, not just hurry from tasting to tasting. We want you to time to chat with us, ask the wine makers all your questions, and immerse yourself in the lifestyle of Herzegovina. Good wine is a way of life for us and the winemakers we’ll meet in the coming days, a philosophy we’d like to share with you.

A good wine tour includes not only the wine, but also its history, a leisurely stroll through the vineyards, simply sitting and admiring the scenery, talks with your tour mates, sharing delicious food at a communal table, and soaking up the vibe of each winery.

In a picturesque valley beside a gently flowing river we found Trebinje ; a peaceful and charming town in the heart of Bosnia and Hezegovina‘s wine country. In the centre, sprawling cafes come to life as locals and tourists alike shelter from the intense summer heat. While the rustic suburbs remain sleepy and simply beaming with vibrantly-coloured flowers and plump seasonal fruit.

Little Trebinje is easily navigable on foot, making it a perfect day by walking and looking around the Old Town, or explore the suburbs, strol along the river or if you’d rather indulge in the wining and dining culture that the region is known for, it’s an ideal place for a slow-paced weekend escape.

SAMPLE THE GRAPES 

When in wine country there’s no better way to escape the heat and while away the afternoon than sipping on a chilled glass of white under the shade of the plane trees, or wine tasting in wine cellars. And so, on this trip we will do it all. 

Hotel Platani, with a separate restaurant and bar, is the most popular gathering spot for both locals and tourists. Set on the sprawling leafy plaza across from the fresh produce market, it’s one of the best places to nurse your wine and watch the world go by. The food is also excellent. 

Considering the area is famous for its wine, there are couple famous wineries in the area. The main winery located within walking distance from the old town is Vinski Podrum Vukoje 1982. It’s a fairly upmarket place and the interior is a little sterile, but the views over Trebinje and the vineyards are lovely, as are the wines. They do self-directed tastings priced per glass and the restaurant is open for lunch and dinner.

Several kilometre outside of town are the Cellars of the Tvrdoš Monastery and Andjelic Wine Cellars, both of which do tastings.

WATCH THE SUNSET FROM HERCEGOVAČKA GRAČANICA 

Unmissable on a hill overlooking the city is Hercegovačka Gračanica, a Serbian Orthodox church, built here in 2000.

From here the views are the real highlight looking out over the clunkily put together jigsaw that is Trebinje nestled in the mountains. Clusters of identical Soviet-style apartments, the grey walls of the old town and the red roofs of the suburbs dotted between a lush tangle of grape vines and fig trees.

Take the short uphill climb out of town at sunset when the river shines golden between the verdant hills.

09.00 AM Departing Mostar

Located less then 130 km from Mostar (80 miles) Trebinje area in Bosnia and Hercegovina is a world of its own. Limestone hills, small fertile pockets of land following the river flow, flocks of sheep and goats grazing and endless fields of vineyards will capture your imagination instantaneously.

10.30 AM Visit Tvrdoš Monastery

After departing from Mostar, we will drive through the Herzegovinian region in the length of 130 km, passing through Stolac, Ljubinje, and next to Zavala and Cava Vjetrenica, we will reach the Tvrdoš Monastery where our first stop is. Orthodox monastery of Tvrdos from 15ct is place where monks have been producing wine for centuries until they blew up the monastery when it was about to be taken over by the Ottomans in 18ct. We will visit their ancient cellars and taste some of their best white and red wine. Your guide will explain about the wine and the current hard working monk life-style.

12.00 AM Visit Ortodox Church of Blessings (Hercegovačka Gračanica)

After tasting monk’s wine, we start by driving up to the top of Gracanica hill above Trebinje for great panoramic views of the city so that your guide can explain the geography of the area and show you all the spots that you will visit during the tour. A visit the Ortodox Church of Blessings (Hercegovačka Gračanica) standing at the top of the hill is also possible.

1.30 PM Trebinje old Town

Old town of Trebinje was formed because Turks needed organization of their territories in Herzegovina due to great changes in wars with the Holy league (1683-1699) – the fall of Herceg Novi and Risan under the rule of Republic of Venice. It was built on the right bank of Trebišnjica, above the deepest part of the river – so called Ban-vir (vortex), named after a legend in which a ban (ruler) drowned in the vortex.

The most important person for the development of the Old town as a fort is Osman Pasha, founder of the Resulbegović family. He started the construction in 1714 but it was interrupted for a short time by the war with Venice. Builders were brought from Dubrovnik, and work force was from local area – Ljubinje, Cernica and Nikšić. During the next year a hendek (canal) was dug around it, which was connected to Trebišnjica. During Osman’s reign, Sultan Ahmed and Osman-pasha mosques were built, together with Sahat-kula (clock tower), which is still resistant to the many years that have passed.

Old town ‘Kastel’ was initially triangle-shaped and it became rounded over time. Its final shape, with all towers, canals and ramparts, was formed in the first four decades of 18 th century. In front of the entry gate (today’s tunnel) there was a draw-bridge that was leading across the canal. The canal was later filled and levelled due to a possibility of epidemic disease, as advised by doctor Levi. (1932)

After visiting the Old Town we can visit the Vukoje Wine Cellar 1982 which is close to the Old Town and is easy to reach on foot.

2.30 PM Lunch in village Tuli

Finally we move 6 kilometers (4 miles) out to the hills beyond Trebinje to village of Tuli. There we stop in a family owned restaurant serving traditional domestic Bosnian food. We will have lunch accompanied with home made wine.

4.00 PM Departing Trebinje

After dinner, we drive back to Mostar (around 90min drive depending on trafic) and you will be back in the hotel/apartment, just after sunset.

Herzegovinian Symphony

Best of herzegovina wine route, futoma | mostar travel guide, in the footsteps of tradition.

When there is a quality, there is always a demand larger than quantity. Bosnia and Herzegovina is, compared to some other wine producing countries, a country which is producing a relatively small quantity of wine. 

Precisely because of the slightly produced quantities and little or no marketing that could match the world’s wine giants, Herzegovinian wines are only now slowly but steadily gaining the recognition while satisfying even the most refined palates of world wide known sommeliers. 

However, if you want to follow the history paths, rest assured you will find a complex puzzle of various periods complimenting this region as one of the Balkans pearls when it comes to wine production.

“Nella botte piccola c’è il vino buono”  -Good wine always comes in the small barrel

Despite the insignificant production compared to the rest of the world, Herzegovinian wine managed to reach the worlds’ best sommeliers   and wine connoisseurs who discovered the rounded and complex flavour wines tamed from the wildness of Herzegovinian soil, stone and sun.

Wine production in Bosnia and Herzegovina dates back to the Illyrian period and the Thracians who introduced grapevine seedlings to the Balkans. Later on, during the medieval period the country was known as a distinguished vine-growing and wine producing region. Having your own vineyard throughout the Middle Ages was, we can say, a symbol of aristocracy which is evident from the records dating back to the 15th and 16th century.

After the middle ages, with the arrival of the Ottomans, wine production of Bosnia and Herzegovina has been significantly decreased. Despite the attempts of going back on the track at the end of the 19th century with the first wine exports to the Western Europe and making wine production a significant source of income in Herzegovina, the recent 92-95 war has resulted with almost complete disappearance of the grapevine. 

This is mostly due to the fact the grapevine and wine production require a high level of human engagement and maintenance which, having in mind the country was dealing with the events of catastrophic proportions, was impossible to obtain.

Despite its ups and downs, wine production in Herzegovina is nowadays recognised as a lifestyle and one of the most important agricultural branches of the region and country. Herzegovina Wine Route is, nowadays, a story of more than 40 families involved into a devoted wine producing business. 

"Il buon vino non ha bisogno di frasca" -Good wine needs no leafy branch

With their thousand acres of productive vineyards, indigenous grape varieties of Zilavka and Blatina and cooperating sun manifesting its utmost strength, wine makers are successfully representing the region with a successful tendency of capturing the recognisable wine flavours.

Besides the fact that Herzegovina is often called Bosnian California and that is a perfect haven for vine growing and wine production itself, one of the top secrets of Herzegovinian wine is actually also a reason it is producing lower quantities. 

The steep learning curve of wine history can be explained by the fact that wine production is most often carried out by families who do not actually have a direct intention to compete with the rest of the world. With a very little or no marketing at all, main focus is striving for the perfect symphony of fruit, sugar, alcohol, acid, and tannin giving a unique structure and flavour profile to their wines.

In 1999, on account of many Herzegovinian families, the country entered a modern wine renaissance and introduced the world with different and obscure grape sorts and wine tastes. This made the world to start flirting with the “so far unknown flavours” and Herzegovinian wines rapidly started flowing off the loading docks.

Here begins the story of as many as 40 families who found their way in the Herzegovinian karst to match the quality of the world’s finest wines while leaving the competing in quantity for some future times. Following the tradition, but with the help of modern technology, each of the family businesses strives to create their own unique and recognisable flavours.

Funky Team has chosen 7 wine producers that are simply a must for all of you wine enthusiasts when in the Herzegovina region. However, feel free to wander the Herzegovina Wine Route on your own discovering some small hidden gems and welcoming local wine experts. If coming on your own, make sure to contact your hosts and announce your visit. 

No matter if you are oneophile, wine enthusiast or a simple fan of serene but hedonistic environments, you will love the elaborate wine tastings in centuries old wine cellars, luxury accommodations in a complete rural settings, amazing dining experiences, and the world of pristine nature accompanied by unique outdoor possibilities. 

1. Čitluk Winery

As the largest winery in BiH, with a processing capacity of 110,000 hl, Čitluk Winery has over 300 ha of its own vineyards. They are mostly growing the indigenous sorts Žilavka and Blatina, but in recent years they did enhance their vineyeards with plantations of two world famous varieties Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Now here comes an incredible fact. Winery Citluk is the owner of so called “stone vineyards” which are absolutely unique in the world. The stone vineyards best illustrate how human intervention can turn a scarce land into a fertile oasis, and the rocky desert into an oasis of abundance and beauty. 

The amount of soil at this site is negligible as limestone makes up 70% of the substrate. The classic methods of cultivating the land for vineyards have been replaced by powerful machines, rippers and bulldozers, and by applying modern methods.The grapes are wrapped with modern equipment in the Čitluk Winery and controlled fermentation produces top-quality dry white wine. 

Assuming that wines largely depend on the character of the ambience – in this case the stone on which the grapes were produced, the producer came up with the idea to name their most popular wine: Kameno Vino (Eng. Stone Wine) which is produced and many times awarded since 1990.

3. Winery Marijanović

Nested in a small village of Služanj , in municipality of Čitluk , a dreamy setting with the most hospitable people you will ever encounter found its haven for producing some of the finest wine flavours you will taste. Wine production has been a family business for years. Remember the stone vineyards from Čitluk Winery? Drago Marijanović, the founder of the Marijanović winery, was the most important person during its construction. 

Besides treating your palates with some of the finest of Žilavka, Blatina, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, rest assured you will have a chance to participate in some thought-provoking intellectual conversations and lectures. Add this to a complete serene setting, the fact this is the only winery entirely embraced by vast vineyard labyrinths, a charming wine cellar right in the middle of it, and you get a small hedonistic heaven. 

The family wine cellar is known for various types of wine, liqueurs and brandies, but what brought them great fame was the famous black coupage 33 made of   33 %  Blatina ,  33 % Cabernet Sauvignon and  33 % Syrah. One of the most complex blends when it comes to local wines.

3. Winery Ostojić

This charming family wine cellar is located in the vicinity of Čitluk and is the bearer of an incredible family story and tradition. The legend says that the last name of Ostojić family was first mentioned back in 1398, coming from King Stjepan Ostoja, a famous ruler of Bosnia and 14th century. Whether this is true or not, this charming winery with its incredible setting and amazingly elegant wine aromas, is surely a place not to be missed. 

In addition to being able to enjoy the taste of royal wines, the family offers accommodation just in the centre of vineyards, and a beautiful courtyard with a swimming pool. Just imagine a glass of wine in a beautiful and serene setting and mesmerising lush greenery while embraced by the Herzegovinian sun.

Emphasizing his surname, Vlado Ostojić practically reminds us of the incredible history of medieval Bosnia. The family produce  Žilavka  named after the first wife of King Stjepan Ostoja  Vitača  ( Vitača  Ostojić), Merlot named after Stjepan Ostoja’s second wife – Kujava (Kujava Ostojić), Blatina named after the son of Stjepan Ostoja and Kujava Ostoja (Stjepan Ostojić),  Vranac  named after half-brother of Stjepan Ostoja (Radivoj Ostojić). And at the very end, Cuvee was named after Stjepan Ostoja himself.
