Huljić wine tastings take place in the wine-bar which is part of their old family wine-cellar, presented in the old rustic Dalmatian style. The Huljić family believe their task as wine-makers is to re-discover the grape varieties which were grown by long tradition on the island, and which have virtually disappeared. So in their list of wines we have some made from grapes which are close to extinction, and their wine-cellar is the only place where you can sample them.
The Huljić family produce their wines in the family house which is over 200 years old. Teo Huljić is following in the footsteps of his father Dinko, who was one of Hvar’s best-known wine producers. On finishing his schooling, Teo bought a vineyard in St. Luke’s Bay near Jelsa, modernized the wine cellar and embarked on producing wine independently in the other part of the cellar. He extended his knowledge through working in other wineries and well-known Croatian restaurants. He started producing his wines in 1993, and opened his restaurant ten years later.
