Aus der Quelle

Bizeljsko–Sremič is a winegrowing district in the Slovenian wine region of Posavje. The Slovenian government describes a continental climate with Pannonian influence and identifies hand-dug sand cellars as a local feature. The map pin marks the viewpoint at St Vitus in the Bizeljsko hills.

Redaktionelle Einordnung

Slovenia lists Bizeljsko–Sremič as a winegrowing district with named subdivisions. The local repnice were dug into sand to store produce and some now serve as wine cellars. Seeing the vineyards and then visiting a cellar gives two perspectives on how the local terrain is used.

Empfehlung

Start at the viewpoint near St Vitus on Janežev vrh. For a cellar visit, check arrangements with a repnica in Brezovica na Bizeljskem, such as Najger, before setting out.
