Bastijana in Jelsa, Split-Dalmatia, Croatia | Vineyards

Andro Tomić was born on the island Hvar,  Croatia and has dedicated his whole life to wines and enology. After 20 years of professional training, he decided to return to Hvar to produce his own wines.

Firmly believing that Hvar, with its authentic varieties, exceptionally favourable climate and location of Vineyards, can reclaim its long lost reputation in winemaking, Andro follows the tradition of his forebears.



In the year 1997., he founded a company called Bastijana,near Jelsa  with the primary aim of producing top quality vines, and promoting wine culture. Even though a relatively young company, Bastijana which is near Jelsa soon became synonymous with quality in both domestic as well as some foregin markets and already enjoys a high reputation among wine connoisseurs. Our motto is to try and produce wines of the highest quality and to preserve a long tradition, enriching it continually with new products.



Bastijana is situated in the vinery in Svirče, a village in the central part of the island with a long tradition of vine growing and winemaking.

Today Bastijana has six employees; Andro, director and chief enologist, his son Sebastijan, supervisor, Nikša, working in our wine-cellar, Luka, in charge of distribution, Dinko, taking care of the Vineyards, and Ivan, in charge of our facilities in town Hvar.



Our every bottle holds the spirit of the island Hvar, we invite you to surrender yourselves to this spirit and to join us in savouring.
