Where there was once a sea in prehistoric times, farmers in previous centuries dug tunnels into the quartz sand. In them they kept turnips and other farm produce. The turnip caves (repnice) eventually ceased to be used, but then these spaces with their constant temperature and perfect moisture were discovered by winemakers! Bizeljčan wine, which has a recognized traditional origin, “modra frankinja” (Blaufränkisch) with a high content of healthy resveratrol, and other wines are stored and matured by the Najger family in a turnip cave with several openings including one with natural occurring ceiling painting. In this unusual cellar, wine and homemade delicacies have an even more delicate flavor!
