Worldwide Touring8Mrizi i Zanave winery we went to visit/lunch. I’ve been to many wineries in Australia & Europe, and this place/owners/staff are in a class of their own, simply the best I’ve been to! We loved the two nights in Mostar but I’d consider adding another night in Sarajevo to allow for more history/culture
