There have been a lot of talks about Croatian wines…Every story has its origin, and this tour takes you right to the point of origin!

Miljenko Mike Grgić was born in Croatia

Miljenko Mike Grgić, or Mike Grgich, was born in Croatia as the youngest of eleven children in the village of Desne near Metković where the family owned a small vineyard and winery.

Mike Grgich’s wine story began when he won with his wine in the Judgment of Paris in 1976. It was a historical comparative tasting and evaluation of French and American wines, 

In 1996 Croatian-born Miljenko “Mike” Grgich and his daughter, Violet Grgić, and his nephew Ivo Jeramaz established Grgić Vina, in Croatia, on the Pelješac peninsula, in southern Dalmatia.

Mike started the winery to produce the finest wines from native Dalmatian grapes, and he concentrates on crafting Croatia’s very best varietals: Plavac Mali (red wine) and Pošip (white wine). The winery is located in Trstenik on the Peljesac peninsula, with a stunning view over the Mediterranean Sea.
