About Vinarija Marijanović

In the peaceful village of Služanj, near Čitluk and Međugorje, the Marijanović family has made wine since a cellar was built into the family house in 1936. Four generations on, they tend native Žilavka and Blatina alongside Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon on gentle, stony slopes with hot, dry summers that give the wines a mineral edge. The guided tasting includes a cellar tour, three wines, a liqueur and a brandy with a platter of cured meat, cheese and home-made bread. Sessions run every day except Sunday at 11:00 and 17:00, and you can even blend your own cuvée.
