Wine tastings, folk music, and community gatherings fill the days, in a warm celebration of a Herzegovinian region where the vine has shaped life and land for generations.
The Brotnjo area (Čitluk municipality) is a historic wine-growing region in Herzegovina. Grapevines and wine are central to local life, poetically described as 'a way of life' for its people. The festival was established in 1955 to celebrate the grape harvest and promote unity. It integrates local folklore, clergy blessings, and communal feasting, reflecting both Christian harvest traditions and secular community pride.
