Celebrating Mostar
European Wine City Dionisio 2024
About the Award
Mostar European Wine City
Dionisio 2024
RECEVIN is the European Network of Wine Cities. It is composed of three national associations: ACEVIN (Spain), CITTA DEL VINO (Italy), and AMPV (Portugal), in addition to several member cities belonging to various countries: Austria, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Greece, Hungary, France or Serbia.
Since 2012 RECEVIN has organized an award entitled „EUROPEAN WINE CITY“ that seeks to recognize a European city that has stood out for its support and promotion of the culture of wine. This award is rotating and is awarded alternately to a Spanish, Portuguese, or Italian city.
Since 2018, the nomination of the European City of Wine has been shared by a second city in a different country thanks to the Dionision project. After Rethymno (Greece, Crete Island), in 2019 this recognition went to Perpignan (France), 2020 in Cricova (Moldova), in 2023 to Toulouse (France), and 2024 to Mostar (Bosnia and Herzegovina).
The ceremonial handover of the title European City of Wine Dionisio was handed over by the city of Toulouse to the city of Mostar in Toulouse in October 2023. This title and the whole presentaion of the city of Mostar as the European wine city was a significant step for Mostar, as the cultural and economic center of the Herzegovina region, which now stands out as the starting point of the wine culture of this area.
