Lee and Penny Anderson invite you to explore the culture, vineyards, winemaking traditions, state of the art winery, wine bar, and Villa at Korta Katarina, a Relais & Châteaux member.

Croatia sits across the Adriatic from one of the most revered wine regions in the world. Southern Croatia's rugged coastline, with its dozens of white sand islands and hidden coves, is home to winemaking traditions that date back to 5 B.C.

Today, there are over 300 defined wine regions in Croatia. These regions are divided between the warmer continental areas and the coastal stretches that boast ideal Mediterranean temperatures. These areas produce 64 indigenous grape varietals. Link to wine region map. Located on the Dalmatian Coast’s Pelješac Peninsula, Korta Katarina offers a portfolio of wines from the regions of Dingač and Postup (Plavac Mali & Zinfandel) and Čara (Pošip) on the Island of Korčula.

Croatia has a wine classification system for quality levels. Only about 5% of the country's wines qualify for the "Vrhunsko Vino" or "Premium Quality Wine" designation. A slightly larger percentage of wines are classified as "Kvalitetno Vino" or "Quality Wine," and the remaining wine is labeled "Stolno Vino" or "Table Wine."
