Our home becomes osmica 4 times a year, two in spring and two in summer. We do not fear bad weather thanks to a large and splendid porch. To welcome you you will find our wines, cured meats and cheeses of the territory. A place with a familiar, informal atmosphere, where you can taste the best of the area.
Osmica is an ancient tradition that was born during the period of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. A unique formula, which allowed farmers to open the doors of their courtyards to offer their products. The opening permit lasted eight days, which in Slovenian is called “osem” from which the name “osmica” derives.
Today the osmice can open for longer periods but the customs have remained the same. Like the one displaying a branch of ivy and a red wooden arrow to indicate the direction to take for the nearest osmiza.

Deep roots have linked our family to this unique territory for generations. A territory that we love, respect and enhance without invasive interventions, in harmony with nature, protecting it so that it expresses its maximum potential. The Breg, a marno-sandstone land caressed by the sea, slapped by the Bora wind. It is here, on our small 3-hectare farm, that we produce native wines and extra virgin olive oil to share with you, also through our osmica.
