Hedona Wine Club — Restaurant in City of Sarajevo

We booked dinner at the Hedona Wine Club as a special treat for Christmas, and we were not disappointed.

The location is beautiful, high on the hills near Sarajevo. From our table we could see the lights of the city spread out before us. We were lucky enough to be the only guests, which made it very romantic and intimate.

We were also charmed by the owner, a born raconteur who regaled us with tales of his life and of Bosnia, as well as providing an excellent guide to the wines we enjoyed.

The wine was outstanding - highlights included a wonderful sparkling Pinot Noir from 2014, an orange wine, and a semi-sparkling wine we enjoyed in the wine cellar itself. I am not a connoisseur of wine, but I have at least some experience in drinking it, and I thoroughly enjoyed every glass. It is an excellent mix of some solid conventional wines and some more exciting flavours, which even a beginner like me can enjoy.

The food was also of the highest quality. Everything is home-made from local ingredients, with a mix of Bosnian and Italian influences. Highlights for me included a pistachio and cream cheese ravioli topped with breadcrumb farofa, and a simple dish of home-made bread dipped in Croatian olive oil, accompanied with aged sheep's cheese and dried lamb sausage.

All in all, this was a standout experience for us - it's the kind of evening that sticks in the mind for a long time. If you enjoy wine, food and good conversation, I cannot imagine that there are many dinners that...

Visiting Hedona Wine Club was an unparalleled experience that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I knew I was in for a treat. This five-star winery offers an exclusive and luxurious experience that stands out among all the vineyards I have ever visited.

Every aspect of the visit was meticulously planned and executed, making it worth every penny. The ambiance was elegant and serene, the wines were exquisite, and the service was impeccable. It was evident that a lot of thought and care went into crafting this unique experience.

I must give special praise to the owner, Arman. He is a true legend in the wine industry. Arman’s attention to detail and dedication to providing an exceptional experience were evident in every aspect of the visit. His passion and expertise added a personal touch that made the visit unforgettable.

Hedona Wine Club is not just a visit to a vineyard; it is an experience of a lifetime. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly extraordinary wine-tasting experience. This is a destination that should be on every wine lover's...

We visited Hedona wine club at the beginning of May and have to say we have never had an experience like it before. Hedona is a family owned and family run vineyard and wine club, growing a range of common grape varieties. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by Arman, our host for the afternoon, and first introduced to the most spectacular view over Sarajevo. (no need for the cable car!).

The winery is very intimate and we had the pleasure of having a private tasting. We sampled rose, two different types of Chardonnay, a Pinot noir and a more complex, delicious pinot noir x zweigelt blend. Arman also accompanied the tasting with some perfectly paired canapés which had been produced on site including sun dried tomatoes, olive oil and aged sheep’s cheese.

Arman was a great host, very knowledgeable and was more than happy to provide us with recommendations around Sarajevo and all over the country. The vineyard is only a 15-minute drive from Sarajevo so we would thoroughly recommend a visit - you will not be...
