Our story dates back to 1858.
Our story dates back to 1858 when the family acquired their oldest vineyard in Cirnik above the castle of Mokrice – there is evidence of land registration. It is known that the family owned an even older possession in Gadno until the end of the 19th century but no written evidence has been found about it – yet ;)
In 1970 Ivana Curhalek and Božidar Zajc got married and with their marriage family Zajc took over the activity of both winemaking families.
When Slovenia became economically independent in 1990, the activity was taken over by family company. Sporti d. o. o. which invested in renovation and expansion of the vineyards, outbuildings and modern equipment immediately.
Zajc wines is considered quality and renowned winemaker sold under the label Zajc.
The cellar is now led by sons Božidar junior and Marko with great coworkers. Parents Ivana and Božidar senior still make important contributions to key projects and guidelines, and a new generation is already on the horizon.
