The grapevine is probably one of the oldest agricultural crops, and wine is one of the most popular drinks today. It is so popular that February 18 has been declared International Wine Day.
Trnjak, along with the better-known Žilavka and Blatina, is another autochthonous grape variety in Herzegovina. Very little is known about his origin. One story says that it was brought to our region by the legendary Knights Templar while they were moving towards the Holy Land in the Crusades. And another story says that it was brought by the French during Napoleon's occupation of Dalmatia.
