The winding road towards the Anđelić family winery on the outskirts of Trebinje is a path well worth taking! Enter the oasis of calm that is the winery’s courtyard and relax while tasting your first sip of one of Anđelić’s excellent wines, including Žilavka and Vranac as well as international varieties such as Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon and a Merlot-based rose.
Find out more by descending seven meters underground into the wine cellar dug into a living rock, thus naturally creating the perfect conditions for preserving wine in the hot climate of Herzegovina. Hear the fascinating history of the Anđelić family, which has been producing wine for well over a century, the tradition now continuing with Milica Anđelić, Bosnia and Herzegovina’s only female winery owner and the country’s first female sommelier, as well as her daughter Milena, Bosnia and Herzegovina’s youngest sommelier!
The experience would not be complete without a taste of the excellent local prosciutto and cheese served at Anđelić.

Experience the best of Herzegovinian hospitality and family traditions at Andrija Winery! The Ćorić family has been engaged in wine production for four generations, with the winery receiving its name from Andrija Ćorić, who significantly advanced and expanded production in the mid-20th century.

The modern Andrija Wine Cellar is a love letter to the stone that dominates the Herzegovinian landscape and the wine it brings forth through its vineyards. Start your visit with a small exhibition dedicated to the family history and continue to the expansive restaurant and tasting room with a gorgeous view over the surrounding vineyards. Taste some of Andrija’s famous wines and brandies with a traditional Herzegovinian plate of home-made bread, cured meats, cheese and olives.

The latest addition to the winery is the Andrija Wine & Heritage Hotel, the first of its kind in Bosnia and Herzegovina, offering luxurious rooms overlooking the surrounding vineyards.

Located on the road to Mostar and only 30 kilometers from Trebinje is the Herzegovinian village of Dračeva. The village is ideally situated just a short distance from Zavala Monastery and Vjetrenica Cave and occupies the middle of the Popovo Polje field, a place where vines are said to be treated as a family. It is also the home of the Anđušić family Vineyard and Winery, a family enterprise that boasts a tradition of winemaking that has been passed down from generation to generation and is based upon the foundation on dedication and perseverance. A restaurant and tasting room welcome guests who will, no doubt, be eager to taste the Žilavka and Vranac, produced from grapes cultivated in the surrounding vineyards. Completing the experience of rural Herzegovinian tradition are the cheeses and ham produced on site, providing a delicious accompaniment to the wine, sweeping rural views, and rustic ambience.

The Wine Cellar Begić is located in the village of Prolog on the western edge of Herzegovina, the border with the Croatian region of Dalmatia running right through one of its vineyards! The close connection with Dalmatia is reflected in Begić’s wines, as it is one of the very few wineries in Bosnia and Herzegovina producing the variety Plavac Mali, which is native to the Croatian peninsula of Pelješac. Begić also produces Žilavka, and rose based on Plavac Mali, as well as an excellent selection of traditional fruit brandies. The winery is located next to the Begić family home, so that a tour will feel like visiting old friends! Relax on the winery’s patio overlooking a gorgeously curated landscape consisting of rocks, pebble and vineyards. Besides traditional Herzegovinan cold platters, Begić also serves the delicious local specialties of roasted veal under the bell – a traditional cooking technique in which meat and vegetables are part roasted and part steamed in a round metal container on charcoal – or lamb on the roast.

The family’s particular blend of science with centuries-long experience residing in friendly companionship with the Herzegovinian sun makes this cellar distinctive. The vineyard and winery is especially known for its Rujno wine and the preservation of the now rare autochthonous varieties of Surac, Kadarun, and Plavka.
