Though it is rather unknown for the broader wine audience, Jurković winery started production in 2009. So far, they have mostly sold wine in bulk on their doorstep, but young entrepreneur Vlatka Jurković started planning more serious approach to the local market with new branding of products. Their beginning was, as it usually is, small and humble.

The family started, as they like to say, playing with wine by purchasing grapes from other producers and soon bought its first half hectare of their own vineyard. They have later bought another hectare and a half and planted new vine. On those two hectares they're growing graševina and sauvgnon blanc in the white assortment, as well as red varieties cabernet sauvignon and zweigelt.

Winery has 5,000 liters capacity and the wine can be bought and tasted in the winery and in a small number of cafés in Osijek. They're currently investing in branding and marketing and plan to enter the local market more seriously very soon. In the next period they are also planning to replant their old part of vineyard and build some tourist content on their estate.
