Wine & Cheese Tasting Experience: Flavors of Bosnia-Herzegovina
This is not just a wine tasting—it’s a journey into Bosnia and Herzegovina’s untold story, one sip and bite at a time.
✅ Rare and Indigenous Wines You’ll taste grape varieties you can’t find elsewhere—like Trnjak, Žilavka, and Blatina—carefully grown in the sun-drenched vineyards of Herzegovina. These wines are still a hidden gem on the global wine map, offering bold character, rich history, and terroir-driven expression.
✅ Artisanal Cheese with a Local Soul Pairings include cheeses from family-run dairies in Bosnia, aged and prepared using traditional methods. Served with dried fruits and accompaniments, each bite adds depth to the wines and a taste of Bosnia’s culinary heritage.
✅ Set in the Heart of Sarajevo Tucked into a charming corner of the city center, the tasting takes place at Balkantina, a hub for culinary experiences and cultural storytelling—just a few minutes’ walk from Baščaršija.
