The Feravino winery is located in the wine region of Slavonia, in eastern Croatia, between Hungary, Serbia, and Bosnia, near the village of Feričanci. Interestingly, the name Feravino is a combination of Feričanci and the Croatian word for wine, Vino. The winery was taken over in 1997 by the Kovačević family from the state. Previously, the company was a cooperative, but the family saw great potential and decided to invest. However, at the time of the takeover, the company was in poor condition, and the family had to invest significant time and resources to get it back on track. Over the course of the twenty years following the takeover, nearly a quarter of the 160 hectares of vineyards were completely replanted. In addition to the traditional native grape varieties, the family also introduced international varieties such as Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon, aiming to produce a wide range of high-quality wines.
