Located in the picturesque region of Istria, Fuhtar Winery stands out as a producer of exceptional wines that reflect the rich heritage of North East Croatia. Known for its commitment to quality, Fuhtar Wines has gained recognition both locally and internationally. The winery thrives on innovative cultivation methods, blending tradition with modern techniques to create organic wines that truly represent the terroir.

A Young Winery with Generations of Expertise

Though relatively new in name, Fuhtar Winery benefits from a century of winemaking experience. Winemaker Pireo Licul, alongside his father, has cultivated a passion for producing high-quality wines. Each year, Fuhtar Winery produces thousands of bottles, showcasing a variety of grapes including Istrian Malvasia, Merlot, and the beloved Teran. Among their offerings, Muškat žuti and Teran stand out as award-winning favorites. Unique to Fuhtar, some wines, like the underwater Malvasia, are aged for one year in the Ika Spring, located 23 meters below sea level. This limited production adds to the exclusivity and character of their wines, making them a must-try for wine enthusiasts visiting Istria.

Piero showed us all the wines from his family-run winery, chatting with us and making us feel at home. The wines were delicious and ranged from delicate to strong. Truly a special afternoon. Highly recommended

We called the day itself for a wine tasting for 10 people and it wasn't a problem at all. Incredibly friendly host who is very passionate about his craft. We were able to taste 5 different wines while listening to the stories of the host about the history of the winery and how the wines are made. We even tasted wine that was stored in the sea for 1+ years. Definitely recommend!!

Small winery on the outskirts of Labin... We met the winemaker at a festival in Rabac and fell in love with his Malvasia. So we definitely went back and ordered a few more bottles. The boss, Walter, took a lot of time for us and told us a lot about the history and present of the winery. You should definitely try it out!🍷👌🏼😊

A wonderful time in the company of the best wine producers and connoisseurs, with a glass of Malvasia and a story about the wine of the sea! We highly recommend it..... P.S. We also enjoyed Malvasia at home, and at least this way we visited Istria again!

Piero welcomed us into the winery, which is run entirely by him and his father Walter. Pietro drank and chatted with us throughout the tasting, explaining the process of making each wine we tasted and accompanying us on a visit to the cell where the wines are fermented. We felt like family, tasting the six wines they make, two Malvasías, two reds (a Terán and a Moscato) and finally a sweet Moscato for which they have won awards three years in a row, well deserved to have tried it. We couldn't leave without buying a few bottles to take home and give as gifts. In addition, Piero advised us on local festivals and where to buy some of the food products he kindly offered us, such as the incredible salami. Incredible experience and absolutely recommended.
