Winery Tvrdos is located on South of Bosnia and Herzegovina, near Adriatic coast, near town Trebinje, and very close to Dubrovnik in Croatia. Our winery is owned by Orthodox monastery who has tradition 500 years old in winemaking.
In an old epic folk poem the monastery Tvrdoš and its cellars, or monastic closets filled with wine are mentioned.
The monks of the monastery Tvrdoš started ten years ago a new chapter in the story of the monastic winemaking in our country. They took care of the grapevine in Trebinjsko polje, where the old plantations of the Vranac are located on 70 hectares of land and even built 60 hectares of young vineyards in Popovo polje.
Today the monastery has two cellars. In an old stone cellar from the 15th century, in hundred-year-old oak barrels vranac matures, and only ten meters away, next to the Trebisnjica, a new cellar is dug, equipped with the latest technology, but perfectly integrated into the existing complex.
Modern technological solutions include also a gravitational transport of wine during processing, enabled by height differences between different levels of cellars. Our winery produces wines from indigenous varieties Vranac and Zilavka, but also, very successfully produce wines form international varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay.
Today, winery Tvrdos is one of the famous and best wineries in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which exports wines in 15 countries around world.
