The first records of the wine cellar in the village of Tabor date back to 1224, confirming the rich winemaking tradition of this region. Even today, we carefully preserve selected wines in this historic cellar, where they mature in the unique atmosphere of stone chambers, maintaining an authentic connection between tradition, history, and the finest wines of the Vipava Valley.

The tasting begins in the wine cellar, where visitors can learn about the wine-making and ageing process and explore the spaces where our wines are carefully produced and stored. The journey then continues through the vineyards, where a stunning view of the Vipava Valley awaits.
