Zaro - a family vineyard

We are a family that produces organic wine and olive oil. Our ancestors settled Izola in 1348, which is why we are fully committed to our home land and the sea. It is like a golden thread woven into our life and work. The tradition and the rich heritage is carefully cultivated and it is constantly updated and upgraded with modern approaches, which are driven by advanced global trends in viticulture and enology.

Our vineyards and olive groves spread on 20 hectares of land on beautiful fertile slopes above Izola, offering breathtaking views of almost the entire coast of Slovenian Istria, the Gulf of Trieste and part of the Italian coast all the way to Grado, whose background is adorned by the majestic peaks of the Slovenian Alps with Triglav and the Italian Dolomites during sunny days. The tradition unites us closely with fishing as well, which is why the wine, olive oil and fish are the most complete portrait of our family that we want to present to our guests. 

The vines, which are grown in terraced vineyards of Pivol, are distinguished by exceptional natural factors. The vine is spoilt by both the rich flysch soil and the sun, which warms the region all through to the sunset. The continuous circulating of air and the absence of morning sun creates a constantly low humidity in the Gulf. The vine is therefore more resistant, and the influence of the sea gives the grapes in this entire area a touch of nobility.
