Milicevic Family Vineyards

Milicevic Family Vineyards traces its roots to 1950 in Hercegovina, where Ivan Milicevic worked his family's vineyards before moving to the United States in 1989. After building a business in Covington, Louisiana, he purchased land in Abita Springs in 2014 and planted his first grapes in April 2015, bringing the Hercegovinian varieties Blatina and Žilavka to Louisiana soil. The vineyard grows its grapes using natural methods, with cows and miniature sheep contributing to fertilization and growth. Its lineup includes Blatina as a dry red, Žilavka as a dry white, a sparkling Pjenušavo Vino blended from Žilavka and Chardonnay, and the Milićević Signature, which is aged in oak barrels for years before filtration and bottling. The family approaches winemaking as a form of art, aiming to carry each bottle from their vineyards to the table.
