Ivan Katunar

On the beautiful Croatian island of Krk, in the Kvarner region, lies the Ivan Katunar winery. For several generations, the Katunar family of winemakers has been producing fresh and special wines from native varieties of the island of Krk (e.g. Žlahtina or Sansigot) as well as international grape varieties.

Father and son, both named Ivan, are jointly committed to the high quality of their wine production, combining their passion for wine with the use of modern technologies. Young Ivan Katunar, together with his family, is already continuing this long-standing family tradition in viticulture and winemaking in order to market the importance of wine in everyday life, to preserve the family's attachment to their land, as well as to safeguard the accumulated knowledge for future generations.

The family's vineyards are located in the Vrbničko Polje site, near the village of Krasina and near Risika. These two sites are exceptionally favorable for growing grapes and guarantee high quality grapes every year, which are then used to produce high quality wines in their own winery. Ivan Katunar sees viticulture not only as his profession, but as a vocation.
