Vina Povh Winery: A Legacy of Winemaking

Founded in 1935, Vina Povh Winery is a family-owned establishment nestled in the picturesque hills of the Vipava Valley. The Povh family began their winemaking journey by planting their first vines, laying the foundation for a rich tradition that continues today. In 1985, Stanko Povh took the reins, focusing on quality and brand recognition, which has since positioned the winery as a notable producer in the region.

Vina Povh is the sole producer of Orange Rebula wines in the village of Goče.

Using techniques passed down from their great-grandmother, the winery ages its wines in a historic 400-year-old cellar. Since 2016, Vina Povh has also been a proud member of the European Agri-Environment-Climate Programme, emphasizing sustainable practices.

Nature's Influence on Winemaking

The secret to Vina Povh's exceptional wines lies in their respect for nature and its cycles. The winery's cellar is steeped in family history, and the wines reflect a harmonious blend of natural elements and the winemaker's expertise. Each bottle captures the essence of the Vipava Valley, showcasing rich flavors and aromas.

Diverse Grape Varieties

The Vipava Valley's ideal climate, soil, and sunlight create perfect conditions for vine cultivation. Vina Povh Winery grows a variety of grapes, including Zelen, Pinela, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Pinot Gris, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Barbera, and Rebula. The winery selects only the finest grapes to produce their exquisite red, white, and rosé wines. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, followed by months of aging, resulting in wines that truly reflect their unique terroir.

I normally never give 5 stars, but here I can't help it! First of all, fantastic people... they made me taste all kinds of wines (I don't know how many... in the end I lost count...) and prepared a plate of excellent cold cuts. The wines are all excellent, my favorite is the pinot grigio which has a good 13.5 degrees. I have become a regular customer!

Very good wines with a very warm welcome. We are delighted to be able to bring some bottles to France to give our relatives and friends a taste of Slovenian wine.

Absolutely brilliant wines. The Rumeni Muscat is our favorite. I wish I had brought more of it with me. On the way back from Krk we stopped by here spontaneously on a recommendation for the orange wine. There is no tasting room or catering. We were lucky and one of the co-owners was there. During the "siesta" in the early afternoon, he presented us with a variety of wines in 36 degrees in the shade. Clearly recommended!

We saw a sign for "orange wine" on our way back to our hotel and knew we had to stop. We learned quickly that wine tasting in Slovenia is not like in the US (where usually you just wonder in) and that we should have scheduled in advance. However, there was someone from the family on the patio and he graciously welcomed us in for a tasting. The wine was wonderful - of the three we tried the orange rebula was my favorite. However, they were nearly out of rebula (and it needed to be saved for scheduled tastings) so we bought the orange pinot instead. We are very happy we stopped!

We made a same-day reservation for this winery (on a Saturday in july) because of its orange wines, and the owners were so accommodating. Miha, whose great grandmother originally bought the land for the vineyard, was a wonderful host! We learned so much about Slovenian wines, the history of the wine region, and the wine making process. The wines are award winning and delicious. Definitely worth a stop as it’s still a family owned/run vineyard.
