Highlights
This tour takes us in two of the most charismatic and respected winemakers in Bosnia&Herzegovina, both based in the picturesque wine country of Mostar.
Emporia winery in its sensational wine tasting cellars, which are based in the picturesque southern Mostar Valley , and their exceptional use of indigenous grapes as well as international varieties is a wonderful journey of discovery.
Much smaller in production, but far more experimental with his unique organic wines made exclusively from indigenous grapes from Herzegovina, Josip Brkić candlelit tasting experience in his family wine cellar could not be more intimate. Add to that a selection of his excellent flavoured olive oils, and here is the perfect introduction to the fruits of Herzegovina, expertly handled.
We have carefully created this tour to showcase the incredible beauty of the Mostar area and to introduce you to the best products that the Herzegovina has to offer.
Itinerary
Hotel Emporia - Royal Vineyards Mostar
1 hours 30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeOur journey to the wine country of Mostar from the picture-postcard valley of Neretva river takes us up winding hill roads. The view below of a patchwork of bright green vineyards is truly breathtaking. Emporia wine cellar is situated at the very heart of this hilly region. The high quality Emporia wines are the result of natural blessings like its sunny slopes, karst soil structure, famous bora and jugo winds and favorable Mediterranean climate. Here we will visit the famous Imperial vineyards and wine cellars where we have an opportunity to learn about history of wine growing in this area, and taste the wine and local specialities ( traditional local cheeses, smoked beef ham, homemade bread etc) The best place for wine to show its power is in a winery or a cellar, where you enjoy immensely and learn a lot.Wine cellar Brkic
1 hours 30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThen we will pass on to the Brkić wine cellar in the small town of Čitluk. Josip Brkić is still the only organic winemaker in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Using biodynamic practices and indigenous grapes, he’s making very pure and effusive wines and Mjesečar, a skin-fermented white wine made from 100% Žilavka, is exceptional. Mjesečar means the Moon Walker in Bosnian and it is Josip’s first wine made in a complete organic way. All the farming and winemaking work is done according to the phases of the Moon as you can see on the wine’s label. Sitting around the table, drinking wine and eating famous Livno sheep cheese, local high quality olive oil, fig jam and homemade prosciutto, you feel like you’ve been invited into a family member’s home for a pleasant getaway. For Brkić winery, producing a new wine is like giving birth to a new life. The wine is magical.
