A bit of history

Slovenia has a long winemaking tradition, with vineyards dating back to Roman times. The Movia estate, founded in the 19th century, is one of the country's most respected producers, known for its biodynamic practices. Vinoteka Movia opened as a showcase for these and other Slovenian wines.
