Our visit to Vina Kobal in Štanjel was absolutely spectacular. Tina was a wonderful hostess—warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. She explained each of the wines beautifully, making the tasting both informative and enjoyable. The cheese, olive, and prosciutto board was honestly the best I’ve ever had—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly paired with the wines. The setting was charming and authentic, making the whole experience truly special. I highly recommend a visit if you’re anywhere near the area—you won’t be disappointed!

The quality apartment is conveniently located below Stanjel Castle Slovenia with modern, clean amenities and lovely decor. The assistance received from the family was exceptional. We enjoyed our stay very much and found the history on Stanjel Castle provided by the family was amazing. We will return to Vina Kobal Estate to learn more about Slovenia.

It's an absolutely stunning place. We stayed in an apartment - 10 stars. But the main thing is the tasting. In 2 hours we tasted 8 wines, one better than the other! And what homemade appetisers, mmm! They make their own prêchettes and salami. And it was very cheap - 60 euros for two people. And a lovely girl Tina, who devoted more than two hours to us, told us everything in detail with love, took us to eat grapes and to the production, where she poured us delicious wine straight from the cistern:). All in all, don't miss this opportunity. And there's also a very beautiful old fortress town nearby.

We had a fabulous tasting of the sparkling wines with a meat and cheese board. All of the wines were delicious, and some very unique wines also. The family was very informative and kind. We left with 3 bottles and would highly recommend.

We showed up in the rain, totally unexpected. Tina was so kind to arrange a fantastic tasting.on the spot. We liked ALL the wines, even though we usually do not like sparkling or cognac. A fantastic visit on a rainy morning. And the sun even came out so we got to explore the town. P.S. if you want to drink all the wines of the tasting you can stay here as well ;)

An unforgettable wine tasting experience! We were truly impressed by the detailed and passionate explanations provided throughout the tasting. Each wine was carefully introduced, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. The selection was outstanding — definitely the best tasting we've had so far! We especially loved the delicious cheese and ham platter, featuring some house-made specialties that added a personal touch. Every question we had was answered with great knowledge and enthusiasm. What made the visit even more special was the warm, family-run atmosphere. The hosts shared lovely stories about their family and the winery’s history, which made us feel genuinely welcome. A beautiful blend of tradition, hospitality, and excellent wine!

Lovely small, family run winery. We turned up without a booking, just hoping to try some wines during a rainy spell and the family were very accommodating. The son gave us so much information during our tasting, as well as a really tasty meat, cheese, olive and bread platter. Very much enjoyed our visit and would recommend a visit here whether for tasting or just a glass of wine while visiting the castle and gardens.

Earth

The red soil, terra rossa, colors our landscape. Everything that grows on this land and ripens to perfection according to ancient tradition is something pleasant and different.

The climate

Kars is a limestone plateau in the Mediterranean, but due to its location and altitude, Mediterranean influences are limited. It is characterized by hot summers and cold winters.

Grapes

The Vina Kobal estate produces five different types of grapes: the red variety teran and the white varieties Vitovska grganja, Malvasia, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay.

Sail

Cold winds prevent large stands of true Mediterranean vegetation from growing in the Karst.

Vineyards

All our vineyards are located in Štanjel, within a maximum distance of one kilometre from the homestead.

Estate

Decades ago, the family was involved in agriculture. Our property is 25 hectares.

Kobal Wine Estate

Moments for best friends.

We produce modern sparkling and still wines from the local red varieties of refoškis, malvasia, grey pinot, chardonnay and vito grganj. The wines are produced on the red soil of Terra Rossa, in Štanjel in the Karst – a place where the centuries-old heritage of viticulture and winemaking is written in every inch of the soil.

We are proud that our family estate also produces red sparkling wine. There are fewer than ten producers of sparkling wine made from teran in the world. At Vina Kobal, we are committed to spreading the long-standing tradition and tradition with pride and perseverance. Thanks to the dedication and trust of our family, we have managed to become one of the leading wineries in the Carpathian wine-growing region over the decades, despite our small size, with just over 600 hectares of vineyards planted with vines.

We grow with a love of nature and family tradition.

How did it start?

Ivo Kobal started winemaking at the age of 16, when he attended the agricultural school in Nova Gorica. In 1983, his father Jožef was injured, and through a combination of circumstances Ivo took over the winemaking at the farm. When his father saw that he had done an excellent job, he left the winery to him.

Passion

Ivo was so impressed by wine and viticulture that he went on to study agronomy in Ljubljana. In 1997, he opened his own wine shop and laboratory, Trs, in Komno. Later they moved to Vipava, where, in addition to selling wine-growing and beekeeping equipment, they also provide consultancy and analysis services for other winegrowers. In Vipava, they also produce sparkling wines for other winegrowers who bring them wine.

Over the years, Ivo has undergone various training courses, becoming an oenologist and an official wine assessor at the Agricultural Institute in Ljubljana. He and his family produce 11 different wines. Five sparkling wines, three varietal wines, two varietal wines and one orange wine.

Ivo is also greatly helped by his wife Ana and four children – Lucija, Lenart, Gaber and Amadej.

Location

Štanjel, one of the oldest settlements in the Karst, first of all captivates with its unique view. On the Turn hill, a picturesque terraced village spreads out, attracting the eye with its famous buildings. The castle complex, defensive towers, the Church of St. Daniel with a lemon-shaped bell tower, the houses squeezed into a cluster and the Ferrari Garden are the most recognizable architectural heritage of the old settlement, which has been changing its appearance for thousands of years and at the same time preserves the true soul of the Karst. The village, which was named after the patron saint of the church, St. Daniel, is in many ways a unique cultural monument.
