Kusić Winery

Although the first wine in Kusić winery was produced in 2007, the owner Pero Kusić started the whole project five years earlier when he bought his first of his six wine cellars in Zmajevac. Besides wine, Kusić also offers tourist content for visitors.

Kusić got into the wine business by chance. He bought his first wine cellar planning to make a weekend house out of it, but later started buying more cellars and land for vineyards. Today, most of his family is involved in wine and tourism business.

On an area of nine hectares of vineyards, graševina is the dominant variety, followed by chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, pinot blanc and noir, cabernet sauvignon and gamay. The number of labels is somewhat smaller than that since Kusić sells some of the grapes and also produces basic wine for other winemakers.

In tourist part of the business Kusić offers accommodation for up to 32 people and, beside trying out wine in tasting room, there's possibility for organizing hunting and fishing. Annual production is around 20,000 bottles that can be bought in the winery, but also in local restaurants and on the Adriatic coast.
