Brigljevic Distillery

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 founded in 2002. We’re a father-daughter duo with a passion for crafting spirits that represent our homeland in a brand new light. To us, spirit-making is an art form: we draw inspiration from tradition, but we also innovate playfully to create exceptional flavors.

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.
