In its brief history, that began in 1999, Josić winery has become one of the most recognizable wineries in Baranja. That year, Damir Josić and his family bought the wine cellar in Zmajevac along with the first six hectares of their own vineyards. In the meantime, they have evolved the business, enlarged the vineyard area, opened a restaurant and became famous in the wine world.

On 22 hectares of vineyards they grow multiple grape varieties. Besides the most common variety here, graševina, they also grow chardonnay, pinot gris, sauvignon blanc, muscat, traminer, frankovka, cabernet sauvignon and franc, merlot and syrah. The prizes started arriving early, in 2002, and their recognizable label with black stork has become a brand in Croatia.

Restaurant, located next to the winery, is not just a surplus in their offer, but is a renowned place that is on the very top of restaurant offer in eastern Croatia for years. In that restaurant you can enjoy traditional meals, great wine, local brandy and other delicacies. Next to the restaurant is a tasting room located at the entrance to the old wine cellar.
