The Matievichi Winery


Mountain slopes, mild climate and sunlight are the key to successful winemaking in Bosnia and Herzegovina . In the country there are many vineyards that belong to the state or farmers. Great respect is enjoyed by family wineries, in which the technology of wine preparation has been honed from generation to generation. It is in them you can try a unique drink. The most famous among them is the Matievichi winery. It is located in Medjugorje, in a place that seems to have been created to grow the most delicious grapes.

What to see?

In a small village in the southern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina there is a heavenly place - the village of Mezhgorye . In it there is a picturesque well-groomed manor, which is the Winery of Matievich. The estate itself is located among the vineyards, which already inspires confidence in it. Walking around the territory is a special pleasure. But the owners of the winery in the first place offer an excursion, during which they talk about the characteristics of wine production, as well as the history of the winery.

After that, the hospitable hosts propose to taste the brand wine. In the courtyard of the manor there are comfortable tables, behind which one of the most interesting parts of the excursion takes place. You will be offered to try four kinds of wine from different varieties of grapes. While the guests are savoring the wine, the owners tell about each of them: used grape varieties, cooking technology, history of creation and so on. To ensure that the scorching Bosnian sun does not prevent you from tasting the wine product over the tables, there are shady canopies, so the rest takes place in a very cozy and pleasant atmosphere.

At the manor there is a shop where you can buy a bottle of wine you like. Also, wine from the Matievichi Winery is sold in the metropolitan shops. To distinguish this wine from others visually is quite simple - bottles of Matieviches have white, black or burgundy labels with a golden horizontal stripe. For decades, the family winery has maintained a corporate identity.

The winery Matieviches is located in the north of the small town of Mezhgorye . In this direction there is no public transport, but the international route R425a passes by which you can independently reach the manor. Also there are guided tours from Medjugorje and the nearest cities.
