Herceg Novi Wine

Herceg Novi gives travelers a chance to sample Montenegro’s native grapes in a beautiful coastal setting. While most restaurants and bars serve wines from Plantaže, you’ll also find options from smaller producers like Savina Winery and Vinarija Delic, both located just a short walk or drive from the Old Town.

Whether you’re pairing a crisp Krstač with seafood or a bold Vranac with grilled meats, Herceg Novi’s wine scene favors local expressions and coastal hospitality. Bottle shops and wine bars offer convenient options for buying or tasting regional wines during your stay.

Montenegro’s wine scene centers around a small but diverse group of indigenous grapes, many of which are available by the glass in Herceg Novi. Most local wine bars and restaurants focus on classic regional pairings—white Krstač with Adriatic seafood and red Vranac with grilled meats and cheese.

Red Grapes

• Vranac – Montenegro’s signature red, full-bodied with dark fruit and spice. Widely available and often used in single-varietal and blended wines.
• Kratošija – A lighter red grape, sometimes blended with Vranac or made into younger, fruit-forward wines.

White Grapes

• Krstač – The most notable native white grape, known for dry, mineral-driven wines with citrus and herbal notes.
• International Varieties – You may also see Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, often blended with native grapes.
