Life is not something that should be lived. Life is something that should be celebrated!
And we, the Špacapan family, abide by this! We therefore invite you to join us on Monday, 16 December 2019, at 6:30PM, to celebrate the 46th anniversary of Špacapanova hiša. This one-time event will be accompanied by dinner with specially chosen dishes and the sound of Danijel Marinič’s accordion.
You will taste masterpieces made by chef Ago Špacapan (Špacapanova hiša) together with Saša and Boštjan, as well as masterpieces by chef David Vračko (Mak restaurant) together with Saša and Jernej. Together, we will prepare a surprise menu.
None other than the extravagant David Vračko will also be celebrating – he will be turning 37 – on this day.

Such a menu requires a wine accompaniment. It will be taken charge of by three giants of Karst wine story, Benjamin Zidarich, Sandy Škerk and Joško Renčel, headed by house sommelier David Alajmo.
Zidarich farm has, by its shape and structure, expressed loyalty to its land since 1988. Benjamin Zidarich, distinguished by a renovative spirit, transformed the family farm with new ideas, strategies and great perseverance. The farm obtained new areas year after year – it now cultivates eight hectares of vineyard and fills up to 25 thousand bottles.
Sandy Škerk and his family are dedicated to a deep sense of belonging to the vine-growing area. With the beneficial influence of the sea, they produce wines of distinct personality and ancient origin. Inspired by the ancient techniques of winegrowing, they tend to cultivate indigenous varieties such as terrano, vitovska and malvasia, which have proved over the centuries that they can deliver the best results on this land and in this climate.
The heart of the homestead Renčel has always been in Dutovlje. Each generation of ancestors added and additionally built something – and so began the story that continues to develop today. One of the fundamental deviations from the Karst wine history was the planting of other, alien species, and the exploration of what they could extract from the hard land.
And, for the final touch, David and Ago will take us to see the cellar and taste some spirits.
Join us and make a toast with us to many more years!
