Grgurević Winery

Grgurević Winery is a small family-run winery with a long tradition, now in its fifth generation. Located on the picturesque Pelješac Peninsula, the Grgurević family farm logo consists of two key symbols: the tortoise (čančara) and the hoe. Tortoises, known as “čančare,” have been permanent residents of the Grgurević vineyards for generations. They are extremely proud that the čančara is one of the main symbols of their coat of arms. The hoe, on the other hand, symbolizes dedication and hard work – without which the creation of premium wine would be impossible. Within the hoe, there is a stylized bunch of grapes, representing the fruits of hard labor, and the letter “G,” which refers to the family surname. The Grgurević vineyard spans 4 hectares and has over 25,000 vines, with more than 5 kilometers of dry stone walls. Due to the extremely steep terrain, mechanical production is not possible, so they rely on the knowledge passed down through generations and the hardworking hands of all family members. Today, they cultivate seven indigenous grape varieties: Plavac Mali, Pošip, Rukatac, Crljenak Kaštelanski, Grk, Dobričić, and Plavac Mali Sivi. From these varieties, they produce white, orange, rosé, and red wines. They also take pride in having revived Varenik, a traditional Mediterranean food additive used for over 2000 years, which they have successfully introduced to the market. The annual wine production at Grgurević Winery ranges between 20,000 and 25,000 bottles, with each bottle representing the passion, tradition, and dedication of the family to winemaking.
