Municipality of Perušić - Stilanova Lika
For nearly a hundred years (5 generations), the Vlainić family has been growing fruit and producing brandy.

Being the only distillery in the region, the Vlainić family manufactures the brandy in a traditional way, by combining tradition with modern technological processes and equipment.
