Buffet Pizzeria Guido Sućuraj – Pizza and Vujnović Wines in a 15th-Century House
Buffet Pizzeria Guido is one of the more unusual dining venues in Sućuraj, as it houses both a pizzeria and a family-run wine cellar at the same address. The establishment belongs to the Vujnović family, long-time grape growers in Sućuraj, and is located in an old stone house dating back to the 15th century, in the historic part of the village near Fortica and the waterfront.
Thus, Guido is not just a place for pizza. Within the premises, there is also a Vujnović wine cellar, where visitors can explore and taste wines made from Hvar and Dalmatian grape varieties, with a particular emphasis on Prč, an ancient white variety closely associated with Sućuraj.
For guests seeking a simpler dinner while wanting to sample something truly representative of this part of Hvar, the combination of pizza, local wine, and the historic stone house makes Guido quite distinct from a typical tourist pizzeria.
Pizzeria within a Family Wine Cellar
The full name on Google Maps – Podrum Vujnović – Buffet Pizzeria Guido – aptly describes what is found here.
Guido is the hospitality section of the Vujnović family complex. It serves pizzas and other simple Dalmatian dishes, while the same space also features a wine cellar with wine presentations and tastings.
This means that one can come here solely for dinner, but also connect food with an introduction to the wines of eastern Hvar.
The ambience of the old stone house further complements this concept. It does not evoke the feel of a modern large pizzeria, but rather a small family space deeply connected to the history of Sućuraj.
A 15th-Century House Next to Fortica
The Vujnović family states that their ancestors settled in the old Vujnović courts near Fortica, in a house that originates from the 15th century.
The surname Vujnović appears in the official census of Sućuraj in 1673, while archival documents from the 18th and 19th centuries already record the family as grape growers.
The practice of viticulture in the Sućuraj area is even older. Preserved documents confirm the planting of vineyards as early as 1432 and 1458, so the current Vujnović cellar is built upon a much longer tradition of vine cultivation on the eastern end of Hvar.
This is a part of the story that is felt much more in Guido than in an ordinary restaurant – wine here is not merely an item on the wine list but one of the reasons for the existence of the entire establishment.
Pizza as the Main Simple Choice
Guido is primarily a buffet and pizzeria, so pizzas are one of the main reasons to visit.
The concept is informal and suitable for dinner after a day at the beach or a stroll through Sućuraj. Alongside pizzas, other dishes of Dalmatian and Mediterranean character are offered, and the menu may be adjusted according to the season and available ingredients.
This is not a place to choose for a large, multi-page restaurant menu. Its advantage lies precisely in the combination of simpler food, local wine, and a very specific setting.
If a group desires pizza, but someone at the table wishes to delve deeper into Hvar's wines, Guido is one of the few establishments in Sućuraj where this can be naturally combined.
Prč – A Wine Special to Sućuraj
The most intriguing wine for a first visit is undoubtedly Prč.
This is an old indigenous white variety from Hvar that is particularly tied to the Sućuraj area. The Vujnović cellar produces a dry white wine of a golden-yellow colour with pronounced muscat aromas.
The variety had nearly disappeared from Sućuraj vineyards by the end of the 20th century. The Vujnović family began replanting it in the mid-1990s, searching for remaining vines in the old and abandoned vineyards around Sućuraj's coves.
Today, Prč is one of the most interesting reasons to taste wine at this cellar, as it is difficult to separate it from the very story of Sućuraj.
It pairs particularly well with white fish and lighter Mediterranean dishes due to its aromatic, dry character.
Plame and Other Wines from the Vujnović Cellar
For red wine enthusiasts, Plame is noteworthy, made from the Plavac Mali variety from the Dračev Dolac and Kruševica locations.
The name is linked to the historical designation of the eastern Hvar region – Plame – and the wine ages in the cellar for at least 18 months before bottling.
The Vujnović offerings also include other wines such as Pošip, Ivan Dolac, and rosé, allowing for a broader perspective on Hvar's viticulture beyond just one local variety.
The cellar also produces traditional spirits, including lozovača, travarica, and mrtinovača made from myrtle berries.
For those wanting to explore local products, this part of the offering may be more interesting than ordering standard wines that can be found anywhere on the island.
Wine Cellar and Tasting
Within the pizzeria itself, there is a wine cellar, and the Vujnović cellar offers presentations and tastings of its wines.
Therefore, visiting Guido makes sense even if the main interest is not solely dinner. One can come for a glass of local wine, inquire about the varieties, and connect the tasting with food.
If the aim is a more detailed presentation of several wines, especially during the main summer season or for a larger group, it is advisable to check in advance about the possibility of an organised tasting.
Atelier Vujnović Next to the Pizzeria
Another detail that sets this establishment apart from most dining venues in Sućuraj is the presence of Atelier Vujnović, which exhibits and sells artworks featuring Mediterranean and Sućuraj motifs, as well as smaller souvenirs.
This means that three different elements – gastronomy, wine, and art – come together in a small space.
There is no need to plan a special visit to the atelier, but if it is open during your visit, it is worth taking a look before or after dinner.
Location in the Historic Centre
Guido is situated in the central part of Sućuraj, very close to the waterfront and the Venetian fortress Fortica.
It can be reached on foot from the harbour and the rest of the centre in just a few minutes. Nearby are also the Church of St. George, the Franciscan monastery, and other landmarks of old Sućuraj.
This makes it easy to combine dinner with an evening stroll through the historic core.
If you are already staying in the village, a car is not necessary.
Parking
It does not make sense to visit Buffet Pizzeria Guido by car right to the entrance.
It is located in the older part of Sućuraj, where space and vehicle access are limited. If coming from another part of the island, it is more practical to leave the car at a public parking area in the wider centre and continue on foot for the last few minutes.
This is also a much more pleasant way to explore the waterfront, Fortica, and the old streets around the restaurant.
Why Choose Guido?
If you are looking exclusively for a classic fish restaurant by the sea, Sućuraj has other options that may be more suitable.
Guido is interesting for something different: pizzas in an old stone house, a family wine cellar, and the opportunity to taste wines that truly belong to this part of Hvar.
It is particularly worth trying Prč, precisely because the story behind this variety is local and cannot be experienced in the same way anywhere else on the island.
This is a place that is best suited for a relaxed dinner with wine, without formality and without the need to venture far from the very centre of Sućuraj.
