Croatia grape harvest begins early due to high temperatures

Due to high summer temperatures, grape harvesting in certain Croatian vineyards has begun earlier than usual. In regions such as Vrbnička and Ravni Kotari, the harvest was already underway by early September.

For those preparing for the season, essential equipment includes pruning shears for cutting clusters from the vine, corkers for bottling, and protective gear such as nitrile-coated gloves, boots, and rain gear to manage the wet and sticky conditions of the vineyard.
