The Wine Cellar of Pri Starčih

Nestled in the charming village of Križ, Vinska Klet Tavčar - Pri Starčih is situated on a sun-kissed slope, surrounded by lush vineyards and fields along the Sežana-Nova Gorica road. The winery is conveniently located next to a historic stone church, marked by a sign for the Karst Wine Road that guides visitors to the homestead. The Starc family has called this place home for over 400 years, with the name Pri Starčih reflecting their long-standing heritage. In a unique twist, the farm was passed down to a daughter who married into the Tavčar family, leading to the winery's current name that honors both families.

Nice family business of wine making and woodwork. They make 30-40 thousand liters per year with many sorts including the standards such as cabarnet, porto and the local ones made from Teran sort. Very friendly owners that drink with the guests, tell the stories of the wine making. Definetely recommmended if you are staying in Križ.

We chose this winery to taste the wines from this area of Slovenia, and it was an excellent choice! The wines are good, with a good quality/price ratio. The kindness of the owner who welcomed us in a friendly and pleasant way was a great plus. Well done!

The experience of tasting their wines, accompanied by local specialties (very good sausages and cheeses!) is highly recommended… the kindness and hospitality of the owner was truly gratifying; if you are in the area I definitely recommend visiting this winery.

Exquisite people, who deeply love what they do and who like to tell the stories of their winemaking tradition and the territory, with a historical memory of great respect considering their 80 years. All accompanied by discoveries such as oil extracted from grape seeds and a delicious grape juice. We would have easily spent a day in their company walking through the countryside and the beautiful vineyard that surrounds them. A tasting experience highly recommended

The owner here is a legend. He made our entire trip so that we are still talking about this experience. He showed us everything from grapes and trying them out to many different of his favorite wines. The owner made us a nice charcuterie and drank with the two of us. A seriously incredible man that treated us complete strangers like family. I will forever cherish this memory and will only visit here when I’m back next !
