Trebinje's wineries

Trebinje's wineries are an essential part of the city's tourist offering, as well as that of the entire Republic of Srpska. The cultivation of grape vines in the Trebinje area dates back to medieval times, as evidenced by numerous records from that period. This tradition is confirmed by the awards that local wines have won at international exhibitions, even during the rule of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. The trend of producing high-quality wines has continued to this day, and many Trebinje wines have received significant international recognition.

In the city and surrounding area, there are mainly small, family-owned wineries that have been working for many years on building the brand of Herzegovinian wines. Some of them have expanded their production and now export their wines worldwide.

Today, the vineyards cover hundreds of hectares of land, and the local grape growers' plan is to plant even more native and well-known international grape varieties, along with their own production of grapevine cuttings.

Traditional grape cultivation and wine production are complemented by modern technology, ongoing education, and monitoring of global trends. The fact that Trebinje now has 22 wineries of different capacities is evidence of the success of this approach.

Thanks to the quality and richness of flavour of the local wines and the good promotion of the wineries, Trebinje has become an essential stop on wine tours. Most wineries have tasting rooms suitable for individual or group visits, where you can enjoy a good glass of wine and Herzegovinian gastronomic specialities. So, if you're planning a visit to Trebinje, make sure to set aside some time to visit one of the local wineries. Whether it's the Tvrdoš Monastery winery, or the Anđelić, Vukoje, Petijević, Berak, Aćimović wineries, or any other, the choice is yours. Regardless of your choice, you'll be sure to enjoy a good glass of wine and the exceptional hospitality of the hosts.
