Founded in 1778 in the picturesque Vipava Valley, Petrič Winery has been a cornerstone of winemaking for generations. The family’s dedication to quality has earned them recognition both locally and internationally. In the 17th century, the renowned scholar Valvasor praised the wines from the Slap region, noting the exceptional taste of the terraced vineyards near Loze.
Petrič Winery specializes in two indigenous grape varieties, Zelen and Pinela, resulting in wines with distinctive aromas and flavors.
While steeped in history, Petrič Winery embraces modern techniques to enhance their winemaking process, ensuring their wines meet contemporary standards of excellence.
The vineyards of Petrič Winery span a vast area, with around thirty thousand vines cultivated. The region's unique climate, characterized by optimal soil, rainfall, sunshine, and temperature, creates ideal conditions for vine growth. Notably, this wine village boasts the highest vine density per capita in Europe.
At Petrič Winery, the primary grape varieties include Zelen, Pinela, Muscato, and Merlot. The winery produces a range of exquisite red, white, rosé, and dessert wines using only the finest grapes. Recently, they have modernized their cellar with advanced equipment while adhering to organic methods. This commitment means no chemical fertilizers or pesticides are used, allowing the wines to maintain their natural taste and character with minimal intervention.

What an amazing winery! We booked a tasting and tour of the winery from their website. Urban took us through the vineyard and even allowed us to try different grapes from the vine. It was a wonderful, in-depth look at the complexities of the wine making process- and the experience and craft is obvious when you taste the wine! Urban is funny and kind and we had a great experience. Bonus: we took 5 bottles of wine & 3 bottles of brandy home to the US via check-in luggage on Delta Airlines. The wine was boxed & packed by Urban on the spot and it made it home in pristine condition. Highly recommend!

Discover the wines of this producer without an appointment by visiting the region, but it seems preferable to make an appointment because the wines are of quality. Urbane welcomed us with great kindness and attention. He was able to share with us his and his family's passion for the wines they have been making since 1778. We left with several boxes of wine despite the limited space in the car! I highly recommend it for those who are curious and love wine.

We absolutely wanted to taste Slovenian wines, our guesthouse offered some and so we booked at the last minute. Urban very kindly accepted and welcomed us well! The tasting was exceptional: 7 wines tasted, the doses are generous and they are all as surprising as they are delicious. All accompanied by local charcuterie and cheese. Urban took the time to explain to us in detail the winemaking methods of the wines tasted, there was a real exchange, it was really very friendly.
