Vrbnik is undoubtedly one of the most famous Croatian villages. It became famous thanks to its Glagolitic heritage and famous popular song with its special melody and content which is played and arranged in variety of performances and is called “Vrbniče nad morem” (Vrbnik above the sea). As with the other castles on the island, Vrbnik too is, situated high up, at almost 50 metres and on truly special place, on a cliff that literally dives into the sea. With Šilo, located in the area of Dobrinj, it is the only large village on the east coast of the island of Krk. It was first mentioned in 1100. The inhabitants were mainly farmers, then navigators and fishermen. Today the most important product of Vrbnik's fields and of Vrbnik in general, is its golden yellow wine - the Žlahtina; which has become famous even in wider Croatian circles. According to stories told by the old people of Vrbnik, before the wine became famous, the fields were cultivated with cereals in order to feed the local families that were larger than those today. In such conditions the grapevine was cultivated on the edge of the fields as the wine market did not yet exist and wine was only produced for personal needs. Vrbnik is still principally an excursionist village, which is a kind of advantage, even though it provides accommodation in the rooms and apartments of private houses as well as in a number of hotels. With its rich history, Vrbnik is known as the cradle of Croatian literacy and it is surely one of the oldest villages on the island of Krk. Narrow streets prevail in Vrbnik, so it is not strange that the world's narrowest street should be located exactly here. Blaž Baromić was the founder of the first famous Croatian glagolitic printing-house in Senj, through which he greatly contributed to Croatia's cultural heritage. As he was born in Vrbnik, a monument was raised in his honour. Vrbnik Panorama Vrbnik Panorama Beach detail Koehler’s atlas from 1718 Sparkling wine from the sea - Valomet Church of St. Mark

I Vrbnik se poput drugih starih kaštela na otoku smjestio visoko, na gotovo 50 metarskoj visini, a na zaista osobitome mjestu na hridi što doslovce uranja u more. Uz Šilo u Dobrinjštini, jedino je veće mjesto na istočnoj obali otoka Krka. Prvi put se spominje 1100 god. Stanovnici su se najviše bavili poljoprivredom, manje pomorstvom i ribarstvom. Danas je najpoznatiji proizvod Vrbničkog polja i Vrbnika uopće zlatnožuto vino- Žlahtina; postalo je glasovito i u širim hrvatskim razmjerima. Prema pričanju starijih mještana, prije nego što je vino steklo slavu, u polju su se uzgajale žitarice za prehranu obitelji koje su imale više članova, nego današnje. U takvim su uvjetima lozu uzgajali uz rubove polja jer nije bilo tržišta i vino se proizvodilo samo za vlastite potrebe. Vrbnik je još uvijek, uglavnom, izletničko mjesto, što mu je na neki način i prednost, iako ima kapaciteta u sobama i apartmanima obiteljskih kuća te ponešto i u hotelu. Svojom bogatom poviješću, Vrbnik nazivaju kolijevkom pismenosti u Hrvata i zasigurno je jedno od najstarijih mjesta na otoku Krku. U Vrbniku prevladavaju uske uličice pa ne čudi da se najuža ulica na svijetu nalazi upravo ovdje. Blaž Baromić je osnivač prve poznate hrvatske glagoljaške tiskare u Senju, čime je uvelike doprinio hrvatskoj kulturnoj baštini. Budući da je rođen upravo u Vrbniku, njemu u čast, podignut je spomenik.
