Municipality of Perušić - Stilanova Lika

For nearly a hundred years (5 generations), the Vlainić family has been growing fruit and producing brandy. This long tradition started with Ivica Vlainić, called Stilan, after whom the brand Stilanova Lika was named. 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.
