Bosnia · BOSNIAN WINE TASTINGS
Zilavka and Blatina grow on the karst around Mostar and Trebinje and are almost never exported. These 5 tastings list how many wines you get, whether food comes with them and how the driving is handled.
Travel from Split or Trogir to Mostar and Medjugorje in an air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking guide. Explore Mostar’s bridge, bazaar, mosque, and Ancient House Museum, taste local wine, then visit Medjugorje and optionally walk to Apparition Hill.
“Mostar is beautiful. Our driver Tony was lovely, great sense of humour, good driver.”
Join Alem for a 3.5-hour evening from Mostar to the Bunica River. Board a traditional wooden boat, taste two white and two red wines, and enjoy cold cuts, cheeses, BBQ meats, trout, salads, fruit, vegetables, and dessert while hearing local stories.
“Coming back to Bosnia and Herzegovina is always a treat, but experiencing super generous dinner and wine while cruising on a beautiful river was something else. My trip just got so better after this gastro experience. I was a little doubtful because I booked this tour by myself, but Alem made me feel welcome, introduced me to other guests. After two glasses of wine I made lifelong friends 😎and we had an incredible time. Love this country.”
Travel from Dubrovnik to Trebinje in a new Mercedes with a small group of up to eight. Your guide, including Gabriel, Gabrijel, or Matej, leads you through the old town and Tvrdoš Monastery, then serves local wine, olives, cured meats, and cheese at a family winery.
“Very enjoyable tour. We started with a nice tour of Trebinje and ended with a very enjoyable wine tasting. Matej was great - I wish that more guides were like him. Of course, getting to know our tour companions was a highlight. It was one of the best tours I ever had!”
Meet at Franjevačka 1 for a 75-minute private walk around Mostar’s Old Bridge area. Your licensed English-speaking guide combines local history with Herzegovina wine, tasting several wines alongside regional snacks. The tour returns to its starting point.
“I learned a lot about Mostar and Bosnia & Herzegovina during the tour. The guide was very friendly and the tour was very pleasant. The wine tasting was great too! I learned a lot during the wine tasting too and the wine selection was great! Great way to get a good overview of Mostar and Herzegovina region!”
At Via Vino in Mostar, an English-speaking host leads a small-group tasting of three Herzegovinian wines: Žilavka, Blatina, and Trnjak. You’ll learn how to taste, hear the local wine story, and sample each pour with cheese and olives. Bottles are available to take home or ship.
“Very knowledgeable guide, wine was a little limited if you’re after wine. Considering how cheap Mostar is, you could probably order full glasses of each of these wines in another place for the same price or less - however you would miss out on the wine knowledge.”
