Malvasija Karaman Winery, Popovici

Total sham! The winery up charged us ~$20 per bottle (later claiming a "tourist price") when we purchased. We knew the price she was quoting was higher than usual when we bought it but agreed to it given that the owner had allowed us a brief tasting even when they were closed. We only later realized how ridiculous the price was when we found the exact same wine in an old city souvenir shop for $12 less! AVOID, AVOID, AVOID. This is literally the only place I've encountered in Croatia that tries to scam tourists like this. You will have no problem finding better wine and friendly, honest proprietors elsewhere.

Our family recently visited Karaman and did a tasting of their white and dessert wines. While we liked the white, a Malvasija Dubrovačka, and bought a case, we later learned that we were severely overcharged given that we were tourists. We were charged €35 per bottle at the winery and then found the same wine in a gift shop in the Old Town for €23. Our local guide and dear friend was mortified by our experience and was told by the proprietor that we were charged a "tourist price". I'd strongly caution anyone from visiting this winery - there are many other fantastic producers in the region such as Ćurlin and Damarius.
