Destilerija Krulčić local Istrian brandy

Destilerija Krulčić - The KRULČIĆ family distillery has been operating since 2006, close to Lindar, an ancient town with a long history and rich tradition, from which there is a wide view of the hills crowned by Pazin, the heart of the Habsburg County for centuries.

The slopes that encompass the view are suitable for growing vines. That's why it became the birthplace of Teran, Malvasia, and other noble varieties from which the "Krulčić" distillery, cherishing tradition, produces unique brandies and liqueurs of the highest quality. The brand story of the Krulčić distillery is rooted in family tradition, craftsmanship, and the spirit of Istria.
