Croatian distilleries are a gateway to the country’s rich tradition of crafting spirits like rakija, brandy, and herbal liqueurs. Visitors can explore the art of distillation, enjoy guided tastings, and learn about the use of local ingredients such as plums, herbs, and figs. Many distilleries also offer interactive workshops, where guests can try blending their own spirits, creating a deeper appreciation for this artisanal craft.
Our story
Brigljević Distillery is a boutique distillery in Croatia dedicated to crafting fine spirits since 2002. We’re artists on a quest for exceptional flavors and we proudly nurture an artisanal approach to spirit-making.
Our unique location
Brigljević is a Croatian family name whose roots go back to the 16th century. Our family was awarded the noble title in the Noble Municipality of Turopolye, a spacious lowlands south of Zagreb. Our coat of arms features a grouse with a blossoming rose twig in its bill. The grouse landed on a cask and became a proud trademark of our distillery. The distillery is located in Velika Gorica, a 5-minute drive from the Zagreb Airport, and a 20-minute drive from the Zagreb center.
