Located in the picturesque village of Sared, Steras Wines is renowned for its stunning vineyards that thrive on sun-kissed terraces. Marlena and Bojan Praprotnik established their roots in this region in 1975, initially cultivating vegetables alongside their first vineyards. After five years, they transitioned from city life to rural farming, culminating in the construction of their wine cellar in 1991. A significant twelve-year vineyard renewal project has allowed them to expand their vineyard area and introduce a variety of new grape types. Currently, they are revitalizing their vineyards to include rare and forgotten Istrian grape varieties.
The wines produced at Steras Wines reflect the authentic flavors of Istria, a region celebrated for its exceptional wines.
In 2015, Steras Wines made a pivotal decision to transition to organic farming, prioritizing sustainable practices that protect both the environment and the health of their vineyards. They refrain from using chemical fertilizers and additives, including sulfur. The team meticulously cares for the vines, ensuring that the grapes achieve optimal ripeness while minimizing the need for disease-control measures.
Steras Wines cultivates a diverse range of grape varieties, including Refošk, Malvasia, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Muškat, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Noir. The finest grapes are crafted into a selection of red, white, rosé, sparkling, and dessert wines. The winery is dedicated to highlighting its unique collection of traditional Istrian grape varieties in the years to come.

A wonderful wine tasting with Mr. Tilen. Despite the language barrier, he was able to explain his knowledge to us as well as possible. Thanks again. We hope to introduce this wine to France.

This was a truly amazing and fantastic experience. The place was closed on Sundays but Tilan opened up the place just for the three of us and we spent almost 2 hours there. Tilan knows what he is doing, he gave us a lot of interesting stories of the wines and how he searched for local and hidden varieties. The wines were also very good , especially Epulon. Highly recommended 😍😍
