Wine Tasting at the Grgich Winery

Posted on 19. Jan, 2008 by John Brackett in Peljesac Peninsula

Miljenko (Mike) Grgich returned to his birth-home of Croatia from a successful career as a winemaker and winery owner in California to realize the dream of opening his own winery in his native land. The Grgich Winery is in Trstenik, on the Peljesac Peninsula. It’s housed in a plain stone building that was once a military station, then later a resort. It is surrounded by a wooded area that overlooks the rocky coast of the Adriatic below. We sampled several varieties. The whites were excellent, but we really liked the red Zinfandel, which was made from grapes grown close by in Plavac Mali.

    Follow the highway north from Dubrovnik, then take the road to Ston, through Ston on your way to Korcula. Watch for the sign after you drive pass the turn for Mjet. I think you can find the address and web info online. Check out the Croatia.hr website.

    If you go to Pelješac or Korčula there are plenty of other winery which are worthwhile a visit, Grgich is indeed a nice wine but it is also expensive, I always buy a few bottles at some of the smaller wineries, here i get fresh wine for 20 kuna a liter, some is excellent some is only good for cooking (-:
