The Tomich family hails from the Adriatic Coast in Croatia where winemaking is a way of life. Jack Tomich Senior arrived in Australia in 1903 bringing with him all of the grape growing and winemaking skills of his forefathers.
Jack Tomich, Winemaker
Being immersed in viticulture from a young age, wine quickly became one of Jack’s many passions. From pruning as a boy, through to blending with his father and grandfather as a teenager, his love for wine was well established long before he could legally drink. Jack is completing a Bachelor of Innovation and Entrepreneurship along with finishing a Bachelor of Oenology, so the future looks bright for the Tomich family.
