Vinarija Čitluk

About

Vinarija Čitluk is the largest winery in Bosnia and Herzegovina, crafting premium wines from Herzegovina since 1958. Their story began with the planting of the first vineyard of indigenous Herzegovinian grape varieties Žilavka and Blatina near Međugorje. With over 300 hectares of vineyards across several locations between Mostar, Međugorje, and Čitluk, they harness the sub-Mediterranean climate, soil, and sun to create exceptional wines. Their Kameno label is recognized as one of the best Herzegovinian Žilavkas, and Teuta Blatina and Teuta Žilavka Selekcija are particularly popular.
