WHO?
The story of Trapan wines began in a small garage next to the family home. Later, the owners acquired land in the southernmost part of Istria, where they established a well-equipped wine cellar. From 2005 until today, the cellar has been improved in many ways while maintaining high product quality. Within the winery cellar are exclusive areas for vinification, aging, and bottling. Additionally, there’s a tasting room created for the complete enjoyment of visitors to Trapan wines. From 2005 to the present, 12 hectares of organically clean vineyards have been cultivated, and the acquired knowledge and experience are passed through the cellar, creating fine and elegant wines with a specific character, recognizable with a distinct Mediterranean touch. Love, energy, and courage are the main drivers of the Trapan winery.
