Begić Wine Cellar

Winery

The Begić Winery is located along the border of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia in the village of Prolog. The landscape is richly textured and colored with stone, wood, cultivated flowers, and an expansive vineyard. The family has been dedicated to the production of wine for over a century, but only began bottling wine with the intent of more commercial distribution in 1998.
Over the past two decades, the family has steadily increased production (currently at 20,000 bottles) while making investments in the most up to date technology to ensure premium quality wine. In particular, Begić is known for Plavac Mali, Plavac Mali Barrique, Plavac Rose, and Zilavka wines. A wine tasting at the family’s cellar can accommodate up to 50 guests and includes a selection of brandies produced on site as well as traditional Herzegovinian fare of cheese, prosciutto, fruits, and vegetables. The Begić family winery is an ideal place to slow your pace of travel for an afternoon, take in the peaceful ambiance of the country, and appreciate a quality Herzegovinian wine.
