Herzegovinian tour and
wine tasting - 12th November 2011 from

Herzegovina with its sub-Mediterranean
and Mediterranean climate is a region where
Mediterranean fruits and vegetables such as grapes, figs,
pomegranates, olives, herbs, etc. grow, and because of
this it is called
California of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Precisely, because of this mild climate, Herzegovina is
the only and the major producer of grapes and wine in
Bosnia and Herzegovina. Two autochthonous varieties,
Žilavka
and Blatina,
have found its place here since a long time, and give
the yield and quality as nowhere else.
A
half-day tour through Herzegovina will enable you to
meet and to enjoy the richness of nature, culture and
local flavors of the Herzegovina region. |
