Croatian wine (, pl. ) has a history dating back to the
Ancient Greek settlers, and their
wine production on the southern
Dalmatian islands of
Vis,
Hvar and
Korcula some 2,500 years ago. Like other
old world wine producers, many traditional grape varieties still survive in Croatia, perfectly suited to their local wine hills. Modern wine-production methods have taken over in the larger wineries, and
EU-style wine regulations have been adopted, guaranteeing the quality of the wine.
