A Dolenjska Story of Tradition, Family and Heart
In the heart of Dolenjska, among softly rounded hills and sun-kissed vineyards, you’ll find the Martinčič family winery – a rare wine story where tradition meets youthful creativity and feminine energy. For more than a century, their wines have carried the mark of family passion, authenticity and a deep love for the vine.
A Family with Four Hearts
At the core of Martinčič Wines is family. Alongside their hardworking parents, the four daughters – lovingly called the four-leaf clover – continue the story with their unique ideas, views and creativity.
Their intergenerational energy brings freshness and innovation to Dolenjska winemaking, while keeping the warmth and authenticity that have always defined the Martinčič family: sincerity, hospitality and a true connection to the land.
Cviček – The Heart of Dolenjska
Many still recognize the Martinčič name through their famous Cviček, a light, fresh red wine that remains an essential part of their identity. Yet today, the family produces a wide range of award-winning premium wines, celebrated both in Slovenia and abroad. Each bottle reflects the same values that have shaped the family for generations – honesty, hard work and pride in their roots.
🥂 Sparkling Wines – Where Tradition Meets Modern Elegance
In recent years, their greatest pride has become their sparkling wines, where the family successfully combines traditional Dolenjska craftsmanship with modern techniques.
Each sparkling wine tells its own story – carefully crafted, expressive and elegant, perfectly reflecting their winemaking philosophy: respect for tradition with a forward-looking spirit.
🌿 Sustainable and Authentic Winemaking
Martinčič Wines proudly continues the legacy of their ancestors, while embracing innovation and sustainability.
In addition to wine, they also grow vine grafts, including varieties that require no spraying, demonstrating their commitment to environmentally friendly practices and the preservation of nature.
For them, progress means responsibility – toward the land, the community and future generations.
🍇 From Vine to Glass – An Experience for All Senses
The Martinčič winery is not only a place where excellent wines are made – it’s a place where wine is experienced.
Guests are welcomed with open arms and warm smiles. Tastings are available in Slovenian, Croatian, English, German and even Spanish, and each visit is a journey through the full winemaking process – from the vineyard to the glass.
The family wants every guest to feel their love for the vine, nature and the noble art of winemaking.
❤️ Wine as a Story Passed Down Through Generations
For the Martinčič family, wine is far more than a beverage – it’s a living story captured in every sip.
Each bottle embodies a piece of family history, patience and dedication. Their wines are honest, full of character, and deeply connected to the soul of Dolenjska.
