Easily 5 of 5 stars. Passed by on the road and made a quick stop and the owner (Ante) took us through the process and we had a fantastic tasting. The only downside was that I was the driver 😉 Good quality and great hospitality 🙏🙏🍷 Chanced upon Marlais Winery by a stroke of luck and guided by good google reviews. We were hosted by Anton was really impressed by his hospitality. We did not make a reservation but he was very kind and friendly to host us. We did a short and was very impressed by the reds and olive wine! Highly recommend to stop by for some local wines We did not make a reservation but Anton was more than accommodating to give us a tour and tasting. He and his family are passionate about making and it shows. If you are looking for a non touristy with great then this is the place. Super friendly host! Shared the history of the winery, types of wine. Came without a reservation, and were welcomed warmly by the owner. Loved the and hospitality. Highly recommended!! A spontaneous stop turned holiday highlight! On a whim, guided by really good Google Maps reviews, we decided to drop in on Winery Marlais. We threw caution to the wind and arrived with no reservation, a move that could have ended in tragedy (or at least, thirst). But fear not! The legendary owner, Ante, greeted us with open arms and masterfully squeezed us into an ongoing tour. We immediately felt like we'd won the lottery. We were treated to a fascinating journey through the winery's impressive history and got a peek behind the curtain at the magic of winemaking. But let's be honest, we were all eagerly awaiting the main event: the tasting. And what an event it was! It was easily one of the best experiences I've ever had. I had the pleasure of sampling their signature red, Skrapa, across three vintages: 2016, 2015, and 2013. Each one was a showstopper, hands down some of the best red I've ever tasted. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, the next vintage would prove me wrong. It was a delicious rollercoaster of excellence. This visit was a true highlight of our vacation and an unforgettable for our whole group across three generations. A massive thank you to Ante and the entire team for their incredible hospitality – and a special shout-out to the wonderfully friendly chap from Brisbane whose name we unfortunately didn't catch. You guys are rockstars! Like many of the reviews we showed up without knowing to make a reservation. The owners mother happened to be walking outside and pointed us in the right direction. The owner was finishing up a tour for another group and was incredibly gracious and welcoming despite our poor planning. He told us all about the family history, explained all of the Croatian wines (which were delicious), gave us olive oil and cheese to try with our tastings, and then walked us around the cellar. We bought a couple of things to bring home and he referred us to the one importer in the US who sells a small selection of his wines. We stayed at this winery and apartment for almost a week with a group of 8, and it was an unforgettable experience! Ante, the owner, along with his family and all the staff, were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay, making us feel truly welcome. One of the highlights was the tour – we got to see the entire process of how their is made and hear the fascinating story behind the family and the winery. The was also a fantastic experience, and we enjoyed every moment of it. Everything about our stay was very, very, very good, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic and warm with amazing wine! Thank you Ante for spending time with us and sharing about your family's winery and the history. We brought our kids and they were welcomed and got to the olive oil too - a very nice touch. The wines were excellent and we look forward to indulging on the two bottles we purchased.
