Vrbnička žlahtina is a quality dry white wine produced from an autochthonous variety, the white žlahtina. This variety is specific as it is only grown vineyards in Krk and more precisely in the fields of Vrbnik Apart from the community of Vrbnik, there are few other wine producers in Vrbnik. Today, Vrbnik and Žlahtina are synonymous as this is the only place they are cultivated. This variety came to the island of Krk in the 1880s and to the Vrbnik field during the period between the two world wars. The wine name, Žlahtina, comes from the general Slavic adjective žlahten meaning noble. This wine is a pale yellow or straw yellow colour and has a mild bouquet and pleasant characteristic taste. The freshness which can only be achieved in a colder climate, is characteristic of the northern part of the Adriatic to which this grapevine has adjusted, but the vineyards can also be found in the northern part of the island of Krk. In fact, there are mainly white wine varieties grown on the northern parts of the island: with žlahtina (Vrbnik) you can also find Istrian Malvazija, Draganela, Opačevina and other. The žlahtina is particularly recognisable for its specific young bouquet. All the principal characteristics of this variety are conserved in the wine itself with its pleasant and lively taste which has 11% alcohol. It is ideal served with sheep's milk cheese, all kinds of fish and sea specialities and white meat dishes.

Vrbnička žlahtina kvalitetno je suho bijelo vino koje se proizvodi od autohtone sorte, žlahtina bijela. Ova sorta je specifična po tome što uspijeva jedino u krčkom vinogorju, odnosno Vrbničkom polju. U Vrbniku je uz zadrugu nekoliko proizvođača vina. Vrbnik i Žlahtina danas su sinonim jer ona jedino tamo i uspijeva. Ta sorta stigla je na otok Krk 80-tih godina 19.stoljeća, a u Vrbničko polje tek između dva svjetska rata. Ime vina žlahtina potječe od općeslavenskog pridjeva žlahten, što znači plemenit. To je vino svijetložute do slamnatožute boje, nježne arome i finog karakterističnog okusa. Svježina, kakvu mu može dati samo oštrija klima, karakteristika je sjevernog podneblja Jadrana kojemu se ova loza prilagodila, ali i sjevernih položaja vinograda na samom Krku. Naime, na sjevernim dijelovima otoka uglavnom prevladavaju bijele sorte: uz žlahtinu (Vrbnik) tu je i Malvazija istarska, Draganela, Opačevina i druge. Od svih se žlahtina naročito ističe svojim specifičnim mladenačkim bouquetom. Sve glavne osobine sorte sačuvane su u tom vinu vrlo ljupkog i živahnog okusa koje sadrži 11 % alkohola. Najbolje prija uz ovčji sir, sve vrste ribe i morskih specijaliteta te jela od bijelog mesa.
