The experience

You arrive at VIA VINO in Mostar's Old Town and taste four local premium wines, each one chosen to show what makes Herzegovinian indigenous varieties stand apart. Your host walks you through the tasting and tells you the history and culture behind the wines and the region: the kind of knowledge that turns a glass into a story. The whole experience runs 45 minutes, so it fits easily into a free afternoon or between other plans in the city.

The shop also stocks other authentic Herzegovinian products: cheese, olive oil, honey, and rakija (traditional fruit brandies). If you find a wine or another product you want to take home, you can purchase it by the bottle. The recommendation is to have a meal before you come, so you're not drinking on an empty stomach.

What’s included

• Four Herzegovinian wines.
• host-led guided tasting and storytelling about the wines and local culture.
• access to the shop's selection of cheese, olive oil, honey, and rakija for purchase.
