Degrassi Winery - A Hidden Gem in Croatia

Located in the picturesque northwestern region of Istria, Degrassi Winery offers a unique experience for wine enthusiasts. Just a stone's throw away from the oldest lighthouse on the Adriatic Sea in Savudrija, this winery is a must-visit for anyone exploring the area.

Meet the Founder

Moreno Degrassi, the founder of Degrassi Winery, is a celebrated winemaker who played a pivotal role in shaping the Istrian wine landscape. His passion for wine began when he couldn't find a bottle that met his standards for his restaurant. In 1996, he took the leap into serious winemaking, and today, Degrassi Winery spans approximately 21 hectares of vineyards, primarily located near Buje.

Vineyards and Grape Varieties

The vineyards at Degrassi are situated on distinctive white soil across four key locations: Bomarchese, Contarini, Ferne’, and San Pellegrin. Here, you will find a diverse range of grape varieties, including Malvasia, Chardonnay, Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, among others. The winery also cultivates Terrano and Refosco on red soil. Each grape is handpicked to ensure the production of exceptional red, white, rosé, and dessert wines.

Degrassi wines are known for their aromatic profiles, purity, and pronounced minerality. The combination of modern technology and traditional methods allows the winery to showcase the elegance of its wines. The numerous domestic and international awards received by Degrassi are a testament to the dedication and passion poured into every bottle.

Great value for money. Tour is short but nice and free. Tasting is nice and warm, no obligation to buy. A small family business with a nice atmosphere. Highly recommended. A new favorite wine. Muscat

I dropped by spontaneously. Very friendly staff. Was able to taste a few wines and even bought some. Only a short visit, but it made me want to do a more detailed tasting. Definitely next time.

Truly another championship. Selection of high-profile wines and decidedly old vintages. I can't wait to open the bottles.

We called today spontaneously and made an appointment for a tour and wine tasting. Moreno Degrassi personally took the time for us and let us try lots of wines. We learned a lot about wine and how it is made in German and Italian. We had a lot of fun. Of course we also bought a few bottles of wine straight away, which were then packaged for us.
