Bire winery

We had a really nice time today, even visiting the winery with our six-month-old baby. The staff were very friendly and one of the brothers ( JOSIP) took the time to explain many details about the wine, which we really appreciated. This time we couldn’t stay long because we were with the baby, but everything was great. Just a small note for future visitors: they accept cash only . There are many narrow one-way streets—so just make sure to find the right street to get there. They open from 2 p.m. and while you don’t need a reservation, it’s a good idea to call ahead because it got quite busy while we were there. Everything was really good and we even bought a bottle of their white wine to take home.

They have three different tasting options, 2, 3, 4 different wines and with a very nice snack selection, including meats, cheeses, toast, marmalde, olives, tomatoes. All the wines were very nice. We particularly liked the sparkling rose and Grk. It is a steep walk from the harbor shoreline. They have parking as well.

Unforgettable experience and wine quality. We left the winery with 7 bottles to take home. 4 wines in total, each wine is precise, elegant and well rounded. The snack plate was divine as well and paired perfectly with the wine selection. Their star wine is Grk, a local variety which they brought to perfection. You can purchase only 2 bottles as they have limited quantity and it's in high demand. Fully recommended, do enjoy the experience!

Local, not crowded, but still popular. We were 6 people trying Sparkling, Rose, Grk and Plava. Interesting stories about the wine production in the family winery. We liked all four wines, so we bought several bottles to bring back home.

If you are looking for a winery! This is the spot! Absolutely stunning architecture. Very clean. Both inside and outside seating. The wine tasting is very good with the snack plate.

Bire Winery, in Lumbarda, is a family owned winery. One son was presenting/serving the tastings, outside on the terraces, another son working inside in the bar area, and some of the items on the available tasty snack plate were homemade by their mom. Be sure to get the snack plate. I was on foot, coming from the water taxi between Korčula, and had limited time, so unfortunately could only go to one winery in the area. I was very glad I went to Bire. I enjoyed the whole experience, and ending up buying a bottle of all three of the wines 🍷 I tasted (Rose, Grk & Plavac), which were reasonably priced. Do note they only take cash. I was a few € short, after digging through my pockets & wallet, and they graciously said “no problem, don’t worry about it.” ❤️🇭🇷

Was really looking forward to visiting this winery, but we had a horrible experience! The only staff member there was so rude and abrupt! The place was empty and he pretty much kicked us out. We asked if we could buy two bottles to enjoy at the winery and he yelled at us and said: you either taste or leave. Horrible experience!

We stopped at several wineries in Lumbarda and this was by far the best. Their version of the local wine, Grk, is the best on the island. It is a family-run business, and the winemaker himself pours the wine and shares his knowledge and passion for it with each guest. While all of the tastings we had came with some sort of snack like crackers or nuts, the tasting at Bire included cheese, prosciutto, olives, nuts, dried cranberries, tomatoes, and toast. There is no sea view. It’s all about great wine and it’s definitely worth the stop. Cash only.
