The Anđelić family has been dedicated to viticulture and the production of wine for over a century. The winery, notably, is run by a female sommelier and her children who are all wine enthusiasts and fantastic hosts. The ambiance of the space and the lively disposition of the Anđelić family will make your stay in Trebinje unforgettable.
Their quality wines, specializing in Žilavka and Vranac, are produced through familial devotion to the winemaking practice with the use of the best equipment available. The wine cellar is located seven meters underground and built into natural rock, offering natural conditions for aging the wine at a constant temperature as well as welcome relief to visitors on hot summer days. The wine tasting experience includes a tour of these cellars, delicious nibbles of homemade prosciutto and cheese, and a variety of wines produced on site. The family’s compelling history of winemaking will leave you enchanted.

The Ćorić family has a long tradition of winemaking, believed to extend to the first documentation of the family in the region over three hundred years ago. According to the family, “one could not possibly experience the full beauty of Andrija wines by only reading its descriptions, but also by tasting and drinking it moderately.” To taste is to truly experience the wine produced at the Andrija Wine Cellars. A visit to the family’s winery will not only include a tasting, but a visit to the cellar and surrounding vineyards, entrance to the old family home and museum, enjoyment of a range of traditional cuisine, and the potential to visit Paoča and its sites of historical importance.
To continue building upon the family tradition, in honor to grandfather and father Andrija the Ćorić family has built a new cellar, the capacity of which has already reached 1 million liters. With the most up to date equipment and expertise of proven oenologists, the vineyard has achieved great results in the production of high quality, top quality and archival wines & brandies.

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 true treasure of the Andrija Winery is the wine cellar, resembling a traditional Herzegovinian stone house and housing a “wine bank”, an archive of the most valuable wines owned by Andrija’s friends and business partners. 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.

Mogorjelo is one of the most important monuments of the Roman era in Bosnia and Herzegovina and belongs to the most beautiful buildings of late antique architecture. Mogorjelo supplied the Roman city of Narona and probably served in the defense of the city and its surrounding, a dense grove of coastal trees (cypress) gives this monument a particularly beautiful frame. The building was excavated between 1889 and 1903, and in the following years it was conserved, being declared as a national monument in 2002.

Apparition Hill and the Blue Cross in Medjugorje hold profound spiritual significance for millions of pilgrims worldwide. Medjugorje is a renowned pilgrimage site where, since June 1981, six young visionaries have reported regular apparitions of the Virgin Mary. Apparition Hill, or Podbrdo, is the site where the first apparition allegedly occurred, drawing countless devotees seeking solace, healing, and spiritual renewal. On the other hand, the Blue Cross, situated at the base of Apparition Hill, has become a place of intense prayer and reflection, where visitors meditate on the sufferings of Christ and present their intentions to the Virgin Mary. Both sites have become symbols of hope and faith, attracting people from various backgrounds to seek divine encounters and experience the transformative power of Medjugorje’s spiritual atmosphere.

Gabela is a national cultural monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Due to its strategic location, Gabela was also inhabited in Roman times, from which we have the remains of a brick factory and farm buildings on the outskirts of the town. Of the large number of medieval buildings, the remains of the old fort and a stone plaque with a large winged lion, the symbol of the Republic of Venice, are the most impressive to this day. Gabela was from the 15th to the 18th century a large trading center, but also an important strategic fortress on the Venetian-Turkish border. At one time it was known as the slave square. Various political and economic interests were competing for supremacy over Gabel. The Turks occupied it in 1477, and after several failed attempts in 1694, the Venetians occupied Gabela, then with the Peace of Požarevac in 1718, Gabela belonged to the Turks, and the Venetians demolished all the important buildings. Gabela is again under Turkish administration, but without its former power. During the Austro-Hungarian rule and the construction of the narrow-gauge railway, Gabela was a junction from Sarajevo to Dubrovnik and Metković. The Mexican scientist Roberto Salinas Price developed a hypothesis based on geographical information in the Iliad that the Trojan War was in the valley of the Neretva River, that is, that Gabela was Ilios, the capital of the state of Troy.

Water is one of the most important natural resources of east Herzegovina. Trebišnjica possesses a vast unused potential, and it used to be the longest sinking river in Europe (98km). It is precisely in Trebinje where its beauty takes a full form. Banks of Trebišnjica are intertwined with many bridges, one of those standing out with exceptional beauty is the Arslanagić bridge, most famous monument from the Ottoman period in Trebinje. The Bridge played a very important role in Balkan architecture of 16^th century. Mehmed-Pasha Sokolović built the bridge 1574 in honor to his son who was killed in the battle with Venice. When Turks got pushed away from Herceg Novi in 1687, many Turkish families moved from this town to Trebinje. A certain individual named Arslan-aga was among them. He was given land east of Trebinje: Zupci, Necvijeće and Jasen, and was also put in charge of collecting fee people had to pay to cross this bridge. Since that, this bridge was named after him – Arslanagić (Arslan-aga) bridge. With the construction of hydropower system on Trebišnjica in 1965 the bridge got submerged under the newly created reservoir lake. However, in 1966 the Institute for Protection of Cultural Monuments requested the bridge to be moved upstream to the new location – between Gradina (right river bank) and Police (left).
