Rooted in marl, shaped by bora
About us
Four generations - one story
We are the third — and soon the fourth — generation of an independent family farm. We cultivate 8 hectares of organic vineyards on sunny, bora-breeze-ventilated terraces above Vipava. The grapes are picked by hand, the yields are small and deliberate. The wine ferments spontaneously, matures in oak barrels and goes into the bottle unfiltered — as nature intended.

Krapež Wines
Discover the story of Krapež wines through glimpses from the vineyard, and the cellar.
Wine is born in the vineyard — we just preserve it in the cellar. This is a belief that has been lived by Krapež for four generations. Every decision in the vineyard and cellar is dictated by two questions: what the vine needs and what the nature of this vintage demands.
