Our Michieli-Tomić family is a noble family. It is one
of the oldest nobel families on the island of Brač. We also have our own
coat of arms. Warrior shield and the count crown originate from Venice,
the eagle wing from Frankopans, and the arrow and the sward from the
crusade.
Male side of the family is noble Michieli from a village
near Venice, Italy, female side is noble Tomić family that left us in
inheritance the 800 years old family house. Tomić family, noblemen and
large estate owners, had a daughter who married a member of noble Michieli
family and that is how the two families connected. It is the beginning of
the noble Michieli-Tomić family.
Our family house, the house of
noble Michieli-Tomić is situated in the center of the village, with all
it's beauties of ancient times. From ancient times our ancesters were in
wine and oil manufacturing. Great quantity of wine was manufactured so
that, during the period of Austria-Hungary our wine was exported to
Wienna.
Today, we continue our ancesters' tradition. So, in our
konoba we continue to produce wine and oil, we do it by old fashioned
means but in smaller quantities. We produce exactly that much to procure
the family needs and those of the restaurant and the boarding-house that
are part of our old family house and Tomić konoba.
As part of the
konoba we developed a restaurant and rooms for bead and breakfast, that is
for country tourism, where we offer our natural and homemade food and
drinks (ecology).

specialties.
Michieli-Tomić family is expecting You most sincerely!
