About Grgić Vina

Grgić Vina was founded in 1996 by the Croatian-born Napa Valley legend Miljenko “Mike” Grgich, whose Chardonnay for Chateau Montelena famously beat the best of France at the 1976 Paris blind tasting, together with his daughter Violet and nephew Ivo Jeramaz. Its cellar in Trstenik looks out over the sea. The focus is native Plavac Mali from Dingač and Postup, aged in French oak, and Pošip from Čara on Korčula. Drop in for a tasting: the winery opens every day from 09:00 to 19:00.
