Culture and History

The Muzej Alfi Nipič presents the life and musical career of singer Alfi Nipič in the permanent exhibition “Ostal bom muzikant”. The museum also has a wine shop where wines and sparkling wines from local winemakers can be sampled; cars and buses can park directly at the museum.

The Church of Saint James in Jakobski Dol was built as a chapel as early as the end of the 14th century and became a parish church in 1785. The church in Jarenina combines Gothic and Baroque stylistic elements, as well as some Renaissance elements.

The restored Jareninski dvor houses a winery and the Dveri-Pax restaurant, continuing the tradition of winegrowing. Jareninski dvor and its associated estate were acquired in the 12th century by Benedictines from Admont.

Wine and Cuisine

Dveri-Pax offers tasting menus of different lengths, paired with selected wines. Organic vegetables, herbs and spices from its own garden are used, along with carefully selected ingredients from local food producers.

Along the Gornje-slovenjegoriška vinska turistična cesta, white wines such as Laški rizling, Kerner, Sauvignon, Traminer, Yellow Muscat, Green Sylvaner and Pinot Gris can be sampled at excursion and tourist farms, wine shops and wine cellars.
