Awesome place with excellent wines. I strongly recommend the Refošk. Plate with local ham and cheese is nice with a glass of vine. Service is friendly and courteous! Great place for a good wine before / after dinner. Safe place for women travelling.

Vina Zaro in Izola is a lovely spot where we stopped for coffee. The café has a welcoming atmosphere, and the service was impressively quick despite the fact that the waiter was handling everything on his own. The coffee was excellent, with rich flavor and just the right strength. Although we got a bit of a funny look when we ordered a macchiato with ice, the waiter was still accommodating and friendly. If you're in Izola and looking for a good coffee spot with efficient service, Vina Zaro is a great choice.

Great wine bar with an atmospheric ambience and very good wine from the Izola area. You should definitely try the prsut with cheese, olives, olive oil and fresh bread, it tastes great and goes well with the wine. The service should also not go unmentioned. Even though she serves alone, she always has a smile on her face and is very polite and helpful! And every now and then you just have to be a little patient 😉. Anytime again 👍😎🥂
