Carska Vina Grgo Vasilj
One hundred and fifty years ago, the AG cellar was founded on the love of grapes and the wine they produce. This still holds true today. The Vasilj family has been dedicated to winemaking for three generations. Today, their vineyards occupy a total area of 20 hectares, which are distributed through the areas of Medjugorje, Čitluk (Garište), Vionica, and Mostar. The sun from these ideal planting locations is reborn in the winery’s barrels. The name Carska Vina is linked to the revitalization of the winemaking practice in Herzegovina during the brief Austro-Hungarian occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (1878-1918).
During this period, the Austro-Hungarian authorities planted the first large vineyards in Herzegovina. It is known that wine produced from these vines was received at the Viennese court, where even the royalty could not deny the quality of Herzegovina’s wine. This history is the inspiration for the name of the Vasilj family brand – Imperial Wines. Today, guests can taste these wines in the spacious halls of the winery while listening to stories that provide insight into the meaning and significance of Herzegovina’s winemaking tradition.
Čitluk Winery
Named for its location, Čitluk is one of the largest wineries in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The winery was founded in 1957 – more than half a century it was part of the national agricultural economy, and since 2002 is privately owned. The winery has a respectable long tradition in the production of high quality wines. The vineyards stretch from Mostar to Čitluk on 400 ha of different locations. Chosen vineyard positions and favorable microclimate, together with a wise respect for tradition, on the one hand and the continuous modernization on the other hand, resulted in wines of distinctive flavors, full bodied and harmonious taste.
A tasting at Čitluk includes a visit to the Stone Vineyards, the largest plantation in the country. This area encompasses 100 hectares and is known for its unique appearance of what appears to be a stone desert transformed into a green oasis of vines. Romanca, Čitluk’s restaurant and wine cellar with a tasting room, was created as a logical extension of the winery and intended for wine based tourism developed in conjunction with the Herzegovina Wine Route.
Dabić Winery
The Dabić Winery is located in the heart of the fertile wine region of Eastern Herzegovina, just beyond the Dubrovnik hinterland. The winery represents an optimal blend of traditional viticulture and modern wine innovations, based on expert knowledge, contemporary equipment, and the latest technology in wine and brandy production.

The winery boasts a wide range of wines produced from local and other grape varieties, as well as high-quality brandies, awarded with many prizes.
