Griffin Winery in Jastrebarsko is a standout destination for wine enthusiasts exploring the scenic Plešivica wine road, just a short drive from Zagreb. Perched at over 400 meters above sea level, the winery enjoys optimal sun exposure, which, combined with the region’s rich viticultural heritage, results in exceptional still and sparkling wines. The Ivančić family, whose winemaking roots trace back to the 18th century, blends tradition with innovation—most notably through the use of cryomaceration technology to enhance the aromatic profile of their wines.

A visit to Griffin Winery typically includes a guided tour of the vineyards and production facilities, followed by a tasting of their premium sparkling and still wines. The experience is complemented by a complimentary meal, making it a well-rounded introduction to local flavors. The winery’s terrace offers sweeping views of the surrounding vineyards and hills, providing a romantic and relaxing setting for tastings or special events.

Griffin Winery can accommodate groups of up to 60 people, and tours generally last between one and two hours. While specific opening hours and admission fees are not widely advertised, it’s recommended to book in advance, especially for larger groups or during peak seasons. For those seeking a blend of history, innovation, and the beauty of Croatian wine country, Griffin Winery in Jastrebarsko is a memorable stop.
