Winter Tasks in the Vineyard and the Magical Idyll of Goriška Brda

The winter months in the vineyard mark the beginning of a new cycle, full of anticipation and care for the vines that will once again bear precious grapes in a few months. Although nature appears calm, wrapped in a winter coat, work in the vineyard never truly rests. This is the time for one of the most important tasks—pruning the vines—and preparing the vineyards for the upcoming season.

The Winter Idyll of Goriška Brda
Goriška Brda takes on a special charm in the winter months. The hills, veiled in mist, vineyards resting under a delicate layer of frost, and the views stretching all the way to the snow-capped peaks of the Alps create a fairytale atmosphere. This is the time when Brda reveals itself in its most peaceful and authentic form. As the vibrant summer pace settles down, winter offers visitors a chance to experience Brda in a more intimate way.
Visiting Wine Cellars
In addition to vineyard work, winter is also a perfect time to visit wine cellars. During this period, winemakers often have more time for socializing and sharing their knowledge. They gladly introduce visitors to their winemaking philosophy, share the stories behind each bottle, and invite them to taste the exceptional wines created from the resilient vines pruned on chilly winter mornings.
Wine cellars become a true oasis of warmth and hospitality during this season. The start of the new year is an ideal moment to enjoy a glass of rich wine or elegant sparkling wine while feeling the heartbeat of the Brda land and the dedication that winemakers pour into their craft.
