The tasting
Three flagship wines with bruschetta at the tunnel tables.
Šipčanik is a wine cellar like no other: a Yugoslav air-force tunnel 30 metres underground, now lined with two million litres of ageing wine beneath Europe’s largest single vineyard. The basic visit tours the tunnel and tastes three benchmarks — Krstač, Kratošija and Vranac Pro Corde — with Montenegrin bruschetta. The one-hour format makes it an easy add-on to any Podgorica stopover, and the tunnel’s steady cool is a mercy in summer. Three wines with bruschetta suit curious beginners perfectly; committed drinkers should book the premium flight and settle in for longer.

Great experience
Our host poured generously and paired each wine with local cheese and prosciutto. The cellar tour was fascinating and the vranac was the best we tried in Montenegro.
Good day out
