We started the business primarily out of love because we wanted to offer something new and different. With a lot of love, work and sacrifice, today we are the eighth attraction on TripAdvisor for the Rovinj area.

We have seven labels on offer, and the most praised is our Cabernet Sauvignon which is among the best in the world. Of course, the road to such recognition was long. When we participated in the first Vinistra in 1994, we knew 50 times less about wine than we do today.
I have always been involved in agriculture that I inherited from my parents, and I have been selling in the market since I retired, now for almost 15 years. My husband helps me with my work, and we have lands in the vicinity of Poreč and Tara.
Our grandfather started winemaking, and in 1992 my dad started making wine and liqueur more seriously. Today, we produce up to 400,000 liters per year by investing in technology.
We believe that the recipe for good wine is nature, knowledge and technology, and an artistic approach to production. My brothers, Marko, Filip, and I are continuing the 130-year-old family tradition.
We have been engaged in cattle breeding since I know for myself. We make cheeses from unpasteurized milk of Istrian sheep and can only be found on our doorstep and at festivals.
Although wine production has always been a part of our family, we started to take it more seriously in 2008 when we won the first gold medal for our Cabernet Sauvignon in Vinistra. It was a turning point and a great incentive for us.
We started in the 90s when Dad planted the first olives. We started branding our olive oil 10 years ago to enter Flos Olei in 2020, an Italian-English guide to the world’s top extra virgin olive oils.
