Wine Regions in Croatia

The ancient greek settlers established the first wine making vineyards some 2500 years ago on the islands of the Dalmatian coast: Hvar, Vis and Korčula. 

Today Croatia produces around 1 000 000 hl of wine a year from the coastal and the continental wine regions showed on our wine map. The international grape varieties have been gaining ground in the country but indigenous grapes are still very present. These grapes are: Bogdanuša, Bratkovina, Cetinjka Bijela, Debit, Gegić, Graševina, Grk, Kraljevina, Kujundžuša, Kujundžuša, Malvasia Dubrovačka, Maraština, Moslavac, Muškat bijeli, Muškat žuti, Muškat ottonel, Parč (Hvar), ŠipeljŠkrlet, Žlahtina, Babić, Borgonja Crna, DrnekušaLasinaNinčušaOkatacPlavac MaliPlavinaSvrdlovina crna.
