Atelier Kramar ★ 4.4

Katja and Matjaž Kramar are both trained painters who have farmed this Barbana holding organically for twenty years, fermenting spontaneously and curing their own meat and cheese alongside the wine.

Why locals love it: Barbana is a small village off the main Dobrovo road and the cellar keeps gallery hours rather than shop hours, so most visitors drive past it.

Tip: The artwork can be seen Friday from 16:00, Saturday from 12:00 and Sunday between midday and 16:00. Groups over eight have to arrange a slot first.
