Top cellar! We arrived without appointment to buy a few bottles we tasted in a nearby restaurant. The owner had to do some deliveries but opened her tasting room especially for us. She took the time for a short tasting and was so kind and helpful. Both the sparkling and white wines were very good!

We came last week with our 2x young children. Špela was excellent at communicating and booking us in, she welcomed us warmly on arrival and helped us devise the best selection of wine tastings for the time we had. The wines were fabulous and the entire experience was truly enjoyable. I would definitely recommend to others in the area if you want to try some local wines made properly and learn a thing or two. Thank you.

We happened to ride our bikes past to have a glass of wine. There were only two of us, but the very nice owner spontaneously took time for us and offered a great wine tasting.

The location is fantastic! Beautiful building. Authentic village. Local grape varieties picked by the family. Family business, part time job and otherwise co-running the place with friends and family. Tasting was great. They don't do this often as it's not their core business due to limited capacity.
