Dario Drmac

A marketing and digital transformation expert

Dario is a marketing and digital transformation expert with over 15 years of experience in marketing agencies and corporations. He ran the digital department of the country’s biggest marketing agency, serving clients from almost every industry. His knack for harnessing technology became evident when he spearheaded a digital transformation project for a bank, enabling customers to handle their banking without ever stepping inside a physical branch.

Dario isn’t just any wine enthusiast. He once owned a popular wine bar in the city. Later, he shifted his focus to selling wine online and telling stories about winemakers and their craft. That’s how Wine&more, a platform that produces content and distributes wine across Europe and the USA, was born. He is also the founder of a wine distribution company that serves as a logistics provider for Wine&more, restaurants, and bars.

The team recognized that many in the wine and beer industry find tech intimidating

While there was no shortage of technological solutions, very few catered to the wine or craft beer niches. Rather than being disheartened, they identified an opportunity to craft a solution for winemakers, craft beer producers, and their distributors that would bridge this gap.

Their answer was Craft Technology, a SAAS platform designed for winemakers and brewers that would enable them to grow their businesses using tailor-made technology so. One of their initial offerings is the “Craft Technology e-label,” helping winemakers adhere to new European regulations about displaying product info online.

Since its conception, they've maintained close ties with users, continuously seeking feedback and refining their product.

The official launch of the Craft Technology SAAS is slated for 2024. In the interim, they launched the Craft Technology e-label tool in Autumn 2023 in response to new EU compliance requirements for winemakers. It was warmly received, garnering praise from winemakers who adopted it immediately. Now, they’re preparing for the rollout of Craft Technology flagship SAAS product for 2024. For Dario, Ivan, and Dubravko, it goes beyond mere business.

This is all about their passion for wine, beer, marketing and technology but above all else, it’s about helping the community of craft producers to grow their business.
