Trnjak Fest: Wine, Culture, and Tradition

Lijep pozdrav!

Dear colleagues and partners,

We are pleased to invite you to the Trnjak Fest in Ljubuški!

From June 26 to 28, 2025, the town of Ljubuški – located in the heart of Herzegovina’s wine-growing region – will host a unique festival dedicated to Trnjak, an indigenous grape variety deeply rooted in the region’s history and identity. The Trnjak Festival celebrates viticultural traditions, local culture, and heritage, set against the picturesque backdrop of Ljubuški’s vineyards and historic landmarks.

Ljubuški is also home to one of Herzegovina’s most stunning natural landmarks – the Kravica Waterfall, which attracts thousands of visitors annually and provides a magical setting for this cultural event. Local winemakers, food producers, and artisans will showcase their work at the festival grounds. Visitors will have the opportunity to taste Trnjak wines, enjoy traditional dishes, and explore authentic handmade crafts. The program features workshops, guided wine tastings, and evening music and cultural performances celebrating the rich traditions and vibrant spirit of Herzegovina.

A special part of the festival will be culinary experiences inspired by traditional recipes, made from local ingredients that have long been part of the region’s culinary heritage.

The Trnjak Festival is a celebration of wine, culture, and community bringing people together through the story of land, vine, and Herzegovinian identity.

We look forward to seeing you in Ljubuški!

Warm regards,

Tim PP13 – Office for European Integration of the Government of West Herzegovina
