Abstract
The aim of the paper was to identify how grape and wine production farms in Dalmatia perceive certain risk sources and what risk management strategies they use in grape and wine production. Information on the attitudes of grape and wine producers regarding the risk and strategies for risk management were results of survey processed by relevant descriptive statistical methods. In the process of business decisions the grape and wine producers participating in the survey mostly rely on their own experience, family members and customers. Among the most highly evaluated risk sources are their own family health concerns, the impact of climate to the production, and the probability of product placement. As the most important risk management strategies in grape and wine production, the participants decided on the use of their own land, life-long learning and awareness, and irrigation. A certain gap between crop insurance and its implementation is evident.
