Tired of restaurant weddings by the sea? Check these wineries out
There is something undeniably romantic about getting married among the vines.
While Montenegro is famous for its coastline, it’s wine country offers some of the country’s most beautiful, and unexpected wedding settings. Think mountain views, Adriatic sunsets, local wine, family-run estates and long dinners surrounded by vineyards.
For couples travelling to Montenegro from abroad, a winery wedding is also a wonderful way to experience a more authentic side of the country.
Here are some of our favourite wineries to consider for your wedding.
1. Storia di Pietra — Mirac, near Kotor
Best for: an elegant wedding with spectacular views
Perched in the mountains above Kotor, Storia di Pietra combines vineyards, dramatic mountain scenery and sweeping views towards the Bay of Kotor.
The family-owned winery has a purpose-built event hall that can accommodate larger celebrations, as well as a smaller VIP barrel room for intimate gatherings.
It’s an excellent choice for couples who want the atmosphere of a vineyard wedding without giving up the polish and scale of a destination wedding venue.
Why we love it:
Incredible Bay of Kotor views
Mountain, vineyard and sea scenery
Suitable for intimate or larger celebrations
On-site restaurant and wine
Close to Kotor and Tivat
Wedding style: Elegant Mediterranean vineyard wedding
2. Castel Savina — Herceg Novi
Best for: an intimate wedding overlooking the Adriatic
Located beside Savina Monastery in Herceg Novi, Castel Savina is one of Montenegro’s most romantic winery settings.
The boutique family-owned estate sits on a hillside overlooking the entrance to the Bay of Kotor, with vineyards stretching around the property.
This is the kind of venue that lends itself perfectly to a smaller celebration: an outdoor ceremony, long Mediterranean dinner, local wine and a sunset over the bay.
It’s particularly suited to couples who want their wedding to feel intimate and personal rather than like a traditional large-scale production.
Why we love it:
Beautiful Adriatic views
Boutique, family-owned atmosphere
Vineyard and sea setting
Perfect for intimate celebrations
Wedding style: Romantic Adriatic vineyard wedding
3. Winery Marković — Dobrsko Selo
Best for: a small and authentic Montenegrin wedding
If you’re looking for something that feels genuinely local, Winery Marković offers a completely different experience from the larger coastal venues.
Located in the countryside of central Montenegro, this family-run winery is surrounded by the landscapes of the Cetinje and Lake Skadar region and is particularly well suited to smaller celebrations.
Think family-style dining, local wine, beautiful countryside and a wedding that feels more like an intimate Montenegrin gathering than a traditional destination wedding.
Why we love it:
Intimate scale
Family-run atmosphere
Authentic Montenegrin setting
Ideal for smaller guest lists
A unique alternative to coastal venues
Wedding style: Rustic and intimate
4. Cermeniza Eco Resort & Winery — Virpazar
Best for: a full wedding weekend
Cermeniza is more than a winery—it’s an eco resort surrounded by vineyards in the Crmnica wine region near Lake Skadar.
The property includes accommodation, a restaurant, swimming pools, a traditional wine cellar and family-owned vineyards, making it particularly appealing for couples who want to turn their wedding into a full weekend experience.
Imagine welcoming your guests with a wine tasting, hosting the wedding among the vines, then spending the following day by the pool or exploring Lake Skadar together.
For couples coming from abroad, having accommodation and several experiences in one location can make the entire wedding weekend feel effortless.
Why we love it:
On-site accommodation
Vineyard and Lake Skadar views
Traditional wine cellar
Family-run hospitality
Perfect for a multi-day celebration
Wedding style: Relaxed Mediterranean wedding weekend
A winery wedding in Montenegro gives your guests an experience they simply can’t get at a traditional hotel ballroom (not that that’s the vibe we’re going for in Montenegro in general!).
It’s the wine poured from the estate, the local food, the mountains in the distance, the vineyards at sunset and the feeling of being somewhere that is distinctly Montenegrin.
And perhaps that’s the best part: your wedding becomes a way for your guests to truly see and experience Montenegro.
