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.
