THE HOTEL
The hotel boasts a contemporary design, crafted to mimic a vibrant mosaic of interconnected houses in varying hues reminiscent of a vineyard’s changing palette through the seasons. Its distinctive appeal stems from a theme that celebrates the heritage of winemaking. With 22 rooms, each is a tribute to the art of viticulture: 8 rooms echo the motifs of dark grape varieties, while 9 reflect the elegance of white grapes. The five most sumptuous suites are an ode to Žlahtina, the signature wine of Vrbnik. This commitment to tradition permeates the entire hotel, right down to the deliberate choice of room count, which honors the legacy of Ivan and Katica Toljanić by corresponding to the number of their cherished grandchildren.
The staff of Vinotel Gospoja will be happy to accommodate you and ensure your stay is truly unforgettable. We want every moment spent with us to be rich in a unique and relaxing atmosphere.
THE WINERY
The Gospoja winery was founded in the 90s, and today, the Toljanić and Brusić families produce about 200 tons of grapes of the autochthonous Žlahtina variety. An additional 500 tons are bought from local vineyard farmers. In addition to wine processing, the Gospoja cooperative has expertly blended love and tradition into a successful enterprise. It is committed to showcasing the fruits of their labor through hospitality and catering. The winery is next to the Vrbnik field at the town entrance. The winery was built in 1999 and has been steadily increasing its capacity. The current capacity of the winery is 750,000 liters of wine. From a technological point of view, it follows the trends of modern winemaking, integrating them with the traditional method of wine production from Vrbnik.
VINEYARDS
Vrbničko Polje covers an area of about 200 hectares at the entrance to the town of Vrbnik. In Vrbnik, there are six well-known winemakers. Besides professional producers, it is worth mentioning home-made wine production, which is a viral activity among Vrbnik families. In fact, after their daily work, many families in the city devote themselves to grape production as a side business. This practice shows the importance of wine in the local culture and economy, as well as the deep connection of the inhabitants of Vrbnik with the winemaking tradition.

A ham production was built within the winery complex under the name “Pršutana Gospoja,” intended for the production and tasting of prosciutto.

The ham, with its inviting appearance, not only conveys a feeling of freshness and quality but also seems to capture the Bora wind’s sharpness and the Adriatic Sea’s salinity in its flavor, combining characteristic elements of a rich and varied environment.
