The Matković family has a rich history in winemaking that dates back to 1503, with records of land disputes for vine planting found in the Dubrovnik Archives. Generations of the family have been dedicated to both seafaring and viticulture. In 2003, mechanical engineer Petar Matković returned to his roots, reviving the family’s abandoned vineyards and establishing a small winery focused on producing high-quality Plavac Mali wines from the Pelješac region, specifically from Sutandrija, Dingac-Zaska, and Dingac-Drma.
At Matković Wines, the emphasis is on quality. The family cultivates their 4-hectare vineyards using traditional methods, avoiding heavy machinery and automated processes. This dedication results in a limited production of around 12,000 bottles each year, ensuring that every bottle reflects their commitment to excellence.
In addition to Plavac Mali, the Matković family is proud to grow the French grape variety Marselan, making them the only winery in Croatia to produce a 100% Marselan-L'amour wine. Currently, they cultivate 35,000 grapevines, with plans to expand to 40,000. Their diverse range of red wines, from quality to premium and dry to dessert, offers something for every palate at Matković Winery.

Vinarija Matković offers a variety of wines that are a reflection of the Pelješac region. Their offer includes indigenous varieties such as Plavac Mali, which is the star of this area, as well as other varieties. The wines are of high quality, with rich aromas and perfect balances. Many visitors particularly highlight the red wines, full of character and potential.

Matković wines are definitely among the top 1% of world wines. I had the opportunity to taste all their wines and I was very impressed. Due to the small quantity and high quality, you can only buy Matković wines from them at the winery or order the wine to be sent to you by courier service. My favorite Matković wine is Nevera wine, for which they choose the best grapes.

Amazing amazing amazing! Beautiful family run winery with incredible wines. We dropped in on them in the middle of their day & they were more than happy to host us & give us a taste of all their wines. We bought every single one because they are that good! The best winery we’ve been to in Croatia (and we’ve been to a lot!)

Beautiful winery. After an agreement with the owner of the house Željka, we did a tasting and then we did it ourselves with a group from the great Dingač. Finally they ordered a couple of cardboards for the boat and painted it. If you move let yourself be absorbed.. 🙏 You will enjoy it.
