About Vipava 1894
Vines have grown in the Vipava Valley since Roman times, and in 1894 local growers founded the Vipava Wine Cooperative to farm and sell their wines together, reaching markets as far as Prague and Klagenfurt. Its cellar has worked ever since. Today’s collections include the fresh Ventus varietals, the Lanthieri wines named after the noble family that once lived in the valley, with indigenous Zelen and Pinela, and the Terase wines from terraced vineyards. Group cellar tours of about 25 minutes, followed by a tasting, run Monday to Saturday by appointment; individual visitors can taste in the shop.
