About us - Vina Anđelini

The centenary tradition of the families Velan and Anđelini

Grapevine and wine have for centuries been a part of the culture and life of the inhabitants of central Istria, as well as Velanov Brijeg inhabitants and the families Velan and Anđelini. The area of Velanov Brijeg is a hill and a village bearing the same name, located south of the town of Pazin at 470 meters above sea level. The proven quality of our wines is a blend of specific climate, soil, technology, and especially love and respect for the grapevine. In 1924, Ciril Velan has built a house and a family basement where wine is produced for own use and for sale.

Vineyards with various varieties are planted, especially autochthonous varieties Malvazija, Brajdenica and Teran. In 1997, a significant increase in grape and wine production began, new vineyards were planted and the cellar expanded. Today, we have 65,000 vines of various varieties, especially Malvazija, Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Muškat.

Beekeeping and honey products

Besides the production of wine as the main product of our economy, we also produce honey and other bee products. Beekeeping is also a decade-long tradition of this family. In the production of honey, most common is acacia, chestnut and honeydew, depending on the local conditions.
