Car Winery
About winery
The Car Winery, located in Smokvica on the island of Korčula, takes its name from a family nickname, with owner Frano Baničević inheriting it from his grandfather. The winery’s unique location—beneath the family home in a cellar shielded from light—provides ideal conditions for maintaining optimal temperature. Spanning over two hectares of vineyards across seven fields, the winery primarily cultivates Pošip, along with Rukatac and Plavac Mali. With an annual production exceeding 4,000 bottles, its offerings include five labels: two Pošip, one Rukatac, one Plavac Mali, and a rosé. Frano plans to expand the vineyards and modernize the winery, responding to the growing demand for wine while staying true to the family’s tradition and embracing modern technology.
