Dveri Pax Jaringhof

Didn’t expect to have such a fantastic meal at a winery. The chef here clearly has his own vision—farm-to-table, but with a sharper edge. He leans into bitterness in a way I don’t often see, and while I was skeptical at first, it worked far better than I imagined. The starters. Instead of chasing acidity, they built appetite with herbs, milky umami, and the occasional nutty layer. That balance of creaminess against bitterness carried through the whole meal. In pumpkin flower with pickled mushrooms, it was the cotta cheese and a leaf topping my server couldn’t quite explain. In the zander, buckwheat noodles and pine nuts. In the foie gras ice cream, cacao nibs. Even in the mains, sauces quietly kept that bitter backbone alive. Also unlikely combinations of ingredients in most of the dishes. So many ingredients on the plate, none screaming for attention, but somehow it all clicked. Admittedly, my server’s limited English made it easier to stop overanalyzing and just eat. Wine - My first time trying Eastern European bottles, and the Sipon Furmint was fantastic. Incredible top notes, fragrant, slightly sweet, gently rounded. Honestly, one of my all-time favorite white wine aromas. It paired beautifully with the chef’s bitter-leaning dishes. The Sauvignon V reserve was really good.

Super friendly with incredible wines! We walked in without a reservation and were able to taste a lot of different wines. She was enthusiastic about showing us the selection based on our preferences and what she thought we might enjoy. Looking back on our trip to Slovenia, this was the best wine tasting experience.

If you enjoy fine dining and wines, I can't recommend this place enough. The staff is very educated about each dish and wine, so they recommend the best ones to pair. The scenery was also beautiful, will definitely come back.

Excellent wine presentation and history of Dveri pax by member of staff , the place is a bit expensive than other wineries but they have a reason for that because they have a history, story and breathtaking cellar where the restaurant is located! Highly recommend to visit!

Interesting wine in a beautiful setting. Certainly try some of the food

Wonderful visit to the winery. The wine is excellent but the friendliness of the staff and beautiful setting make it a can't miss. We truly enjoyed our tasting and the garden. We look forward to their distribution to the US later this year.

Very nice experience with wine and food

Enchanting wine cellar producing some of the finest wines from the region continuing the 800-year old winemaking tradition of the Benedectines. The fine selection in the vineyards, the age of the vines, and the long-lasting experience of winemakers result in a product that compete in the international market of finest wines. The tasting room is spatious and elegant and the personal is kind, efficient, and expert. Price for value is good. Perfect for tastings, from singles to big groups.
