Montenegro boasts a rich tradition of winemaking that dates back to the past. The country is home to incredible wineries producing some of the world's finest wines, and Portonovi has become known for highlighting and preserving the best of Montenegro, the so-called Montenegro essence. One of the most exciting ways to experience Montenegrin wine is to attend the annual Portonovi Wine Night, now a traditional celebration that takes place in July.
Portonovi Wine Night is more than just a wine-tasting event. It's an incredible experience filled with fine wines and amazing entertainment. Here's what you can expect:

Summer often leaves our hair feeling dry and dull. Prolonged exposure to sunlight, combined with sea salt and chlorine from the pool, leaves us in desperate need of an intensive restoration treatment – especially as autumn and winter bring new trends in hair styling and coloring.
This past summer, Portonovi was once again profiled as a favorite destination, as guests and visitors found entertainment and reason to enjoy the time spent in the resort. With a rich calendar of events, including sports tournaments, art exhibitions, and concerts, there was something for everyone’s taste, and the resort kept its reputation as the place to be.
