Vinarija Birin is a small, characterful winery in Vodice that champions indigenous grapes from the Šibenik region. The visit begins with a friendly introduction to the estate and a walk through the production area where your host explains the steps from reception and crushing to controlled fermentation and bottling. Stories focus on local varieties such as Debit and Maraština for whites and Plavina, Lasina, and Babić for reds, with a simple look at how soil and climate shape the style in your glass.
You then take a seat in the tasting room for a guided flight of five wines from the house range. Glasses arrive with a cold platter of regional bites that often include homemade cheese, salami, and estate olive oil that complements the wines without stealing the show. The atmosphere is relaxed and personal which makes questions easy, whether you want pairing tips for seafood or a comparison between Babić and Plavina. This is a compact experience that fits well before dinner in Vodice or as a stop on a day trip along the coast.
Practical details are clear and convenient. The winery sits on Put Gaćeleza in Vodice with published contact information and seasonal hours. Recent tourism listings highlight the address and give a sense of open times for drop in visitors, while direct booking ensures a dedicated host and space in the tasting room.
