In the idyllic wine-growing region of the Slovenske Gorice, in the municipality of Juršinci, lies Herberstein Cellar – a boutique winery that combines rich tradition, modern elegance, and the unique landscape of Styrian vineyards. The cellar, which has undergone extensive renovation in recent years, now stands as one of the finest examples of the fusion of history and contemporary wine tourism in this part of Slovenia.

Herberstein Cellar is housed in a building that once belonged to a noble family and later to local winegrowers who dedicated themselves passionately to wine production. Today, the space comes alive as a modern wine-tourism gem, offering guests tranquility, contact with nature, and an authentic experience of life among the vineyards.


An Atmosphere That Inspires – Among Vineyards and Serene Nature

The estate features beautifully renovated rooms, located right next to the vineyards. The accommodations are designed in a contemporary rural style: minimalist lines, warm wood, a calming color palette, and abundant natural light create an ideal space for relaxation.

Each room is equipped with modern amenities, comfortable beds, a private bathroom, and a space for rest. A special charm is added by the balconies and terraces overlooking the rolling wine-growing hills, allowing guests to start or end their day with the most beautiful views of the Slovenian countryside.

Complementing the accommodations is a wellness corner with a sauna, a peaceful garden with welcoming shade, and well-kept outdoor spaces for relaxation.

The Heart of the House – Wine and Tradition

Herberstein Cellar is among the smaller boutique wineries, producing up to 20,000 liters of wine annually, allowing for meticulous attention to each batch. The winery focuses primarily on white grape varieties, known for their freshness and aromatic character typical of the Pannonian region.

Their wine selection includes:

  • Šipon
  • Rhine Riesling
  • Sauvignon Blanc
  • Yellow Muscat
  • Traminer
  • Welschriesling
  • Pinot Gris

The wines mature in a renovated historic cellar, where the natural stone construction provides an ideal microclimate. Each bottle expresses the grape variety, the local terroir, and the winemaker’s signature, who follows the principle that wine should retain the identity of its region.

A special feature of Herberstein Cellar is the archive, where older vintages are preserved – a true treasure for connoisseurs and collectors.


Tastings in the Historic Wine Room

At the heart of the estate is a spacious wine room with preserved vaulted ceilings, giving the space a unique character. Guided tastings take place here, where visitors learn about the history of the cellar, winemaking techniques, and the characteristics of each grape variety.

Local culinary delights accompany the tastings – homemade cheeses, cured meats, bread from nearby farms, and other regional specialties. Together, this creates a complete, authentic experience of Styrian hospitality.

The wine room is also suitable for small events, business meetings, and family celebrations, offering an intimate atmosphere that guests will remember for a long time.
