The weekend, day by day

  1. Day 1

Insider tip

Teran exists nowhere else on Earth—this is the only place to taste the full range of expressions from different Karst producers and understand the mineral complexity that iron-rich red clay creates. Visit the smaller family cellars in Tomaj andAses rather than commercial tasting rooms; they often uncork 15+ year old reserves for festival guests and serve pršut from their own pigs.
