Overview

Vrbnik is widely known for Žlahtina, a quality white dry wine made from grapes grown only in the Vrbnik Field. This golden-yellow wine delights visitors to Vrbnik with its aroma, and visiting Vrbnik without tasting a drop of žlahtina is almost mission impossible.

That is why it is not surprising that numerous families of Vrbnik have turned their love of wine into their daily activity, devoting themselves entirely to the process of making Žlahtina and other wine varieties. One of them is the Katunar family, who will gladly open the door to their cellar, and introduce you to the winemaking process.

Have a taste of Vrbnik by tasting its top quality wines and let this tasting turn you into a genuine wine lover!

Enjoy being told the story of Vrbnik and Žlahtina while sitting on the patio of the House of Wine Ivan Katunar, savoring a wonderful view of Vrbnik and tasting Biser Žlahtine, Žlahtina, Chardonnay, Rosé, Sansigot, Muškat and dessert wine st. Ivan. Wine tasting is guided by the sommelier of the House of Wine and it is accompanied by olives, olive oil, cheese, sausages, dried figs, nuts and bread. You will also taste the traditional cake presnec which excellently complements the offered wine varieties. A little surprise is also waiting for you - brandy or liqueur of your choice.

In addition, all guests will get acquainted with the technology and winemaking process, and the Katunar family will gladly open the doors to their winery and introduce you to their family's story and the winemaking tradition.

A visit to the winery is also possible with children - the winery tour will be fascinating for them. For the children (4 - 12 years) we prepared juice and sweets. While adults taste wine, children can also have fun drawing/coloring drawings.

Also, for drivers, pregnant women, minors and anyone who does not drink alcohol, there is a non-alcoholic tour of the winery with a tasting of Krk specialties.

A private appointment is possible by prior arrangement for more than eight people.
Enjoy and cheers!

Ci è molto piaciuta l'esperienza in cantina. Abbiamo assaggiato 7 vini accompagnati da un tagliere con affettati e formaggi, tutto locale. La persona che ci ha guidato è stata molto gentile e competente. Consigliamo vivamente!

Linda

It was really nice presented. We tried 8 wines, a sparkling and a Grappa together with Snacks and cake. The Location is really nice and we were able to take a look at the wine cellar.

Natalia

My partner and I really enjoyed our experience! We loved tasting the 7 locally made wines and a locally made grappa along with fresh charcuterie! The view from the tasting is also spectacular—you can see Vrbnik and the sea. The guide was so knowledgeable about each wine and the winemaking process as well as the area. It was also very cool to see the wine cellar. Would highly recommend this experience. The price is absolutely worth it.

Gottfried

Tolle Verkostung der hergestellten Weine. Zu jedem Wein wird auf Wunsch auch sehr ausführlich erklärt, wie er hergestellt wird usw. Auch die Besichtigung der Produktion ist sehr interessant. Insgesamt zu empfehlen.

Brigita

We really liked this wine tasting. It was intimate and interesting. Our wine guide was super!

Tobias

The tour was mainly located in a room at the house of wine that has a nice view on Vbrnik. We tasted different kinds of wine made in the house of wine (sparkling wine, white wine, dessert wine, etc.) and had a tour to the lower parts of the building, where the wine is made. We learned a little about the history of the house of wine and how wine is made there.

Abbiamo deciso di approfittare di una giornata nuvolosa per provare questa esperienza. Degustazione piacevole e personale chiaro e preparato, una bella occasione per provare e saperne di più riguardo produzioni di vini locali diversi. Consigliato!
