Top Destinations for Wine Tourism in Montenegro

Why is Montenegro perfect for wine tourism?

Montenegro is known not only for its mountains and coast, but also for its rich wine culture that dates back to ancient times. Today, more and more visitors come not just to see nature, but to taste it through a glass of wine. If you’re looking for authentic wine tourism in Montenegro, this guide will show you exactly where to start.

Lake Skadar – The heart of Montenegro’s wine scene

The region around Lake Skadar is the epicentre of Montenegrin winemaking. Mediterranean climate, rich soil, and a tradition spanning over a century have created ideal conditions for growing grape varieties like Vranac and Kratošija.

For a full experience, we recommend the Monte Grande Wine Tour, where you will visit the vineyards and you will experience wine tasting at a family-run boutique winery in Balabani.

Another unforgettable experience is offered by Plantaže 13. Jul, where premium wine tastings are paired with a tour of the underground Šipčanik wine cellar, a former military hangar

Bjelopavlići and Danilovgrad – Elegance and education

In this part of Montenegro, wineries like Keković Estate offer luxurious food and wine pairings, wine schools, and Swedish-style tours. Perfect for true hedonists and wine enthusiasts.

If you’re interested in the educational side of winemaking, the Keković Wine School tour gives you the chance to learn more about the winemaking process directly from the winemaker, through hands-on demonstrations and conversations in an authentic wine setting.

With every sip, you’ll discover something new. About the grape, the soil, the fermentation, or the balance of flavours. This region offers a rare combination of knowledge, style, and taste all in one place

Crmnica and the Rijeka Region

In villages like Godinje and Dobrsko Selo, wineries such as Garnet and Marković offer an experience that blends rustic charm, natural beauty, and the warmth of a welcoming glass. Here, wine is a legacy passed down through generations.

A visit to Marković Winery with wine tasting is perfect for those seeking a more intimate yet authentic experience, far from large tourist crowds.

Wine is served with homemade bites, often in the courtyard of a family home, and every sip is accompanied by a story about the land, the vines, and the people behind them. In this region, wine is not served with protocol but with a smile. The kind of old Montenegrin smile. Honest and wholehearted.

Ulcinj and the South of Montenegro

Coastal wine tourism has a special charm, and Ulcinj is increasingly recognised as an important wine destination.

Milović Winery, located in the beautiful setting of Briska Gora, offers a variety of tours that include tastings, lunch, appetisers, and full culinary experiences. All perfectly matched with the Mediterranean climate and the warm hospitality of the south.

From the Bay of Kotor to Ulcinj, you can find tours that combine historical landmarks, authentic flavours, and unforgettable landscapes. In these parts, a glass of wine goes hand in hand with the sea breeze and the region’s rich cultural heritage.

Wine and spirituality

If you are interested in a unique tour that combines wine and cultural heritage, don’t miss the visit to Ostrog Monastery and Zenta Winery.

This eight-hour experience connects the spiritual peace of one of the region’s most significant holy sites with the authentic wines of central Montenegro. It is precisely the contrast between the silence of the monastery walls and the rich aromas of local wine that creates a feeling hard to forget.

The tour also offers personal interaction with winemakers who hold deep respect for the land, tradition, and faith. Every step from the monastery path to the wine cellar carries its own story. For those seeking more than just a tasting, this is a chance to experience Montenegro through both its spiritual and gastronomic layers.

Montenegro as a wine destination

Whether you enjoy bold red wines, fresh white wines, or smooth rosé, Montenegro has it all. From Lake Skadar to Ulcinj, through vineyards and cellars, each region tells its own wine story.
