Our mission is to express Brda’s unique terroir in our wines and contribute to the development of the region and the prosperity of its inhabitants through successful marketing operations. The guiding principle in our day-to-day activities is a deep respect for nature and its cycles, since we firmly believe that superior quality is born in the vineyard.

The Klet Brda wine cellar is built into a little hill topped by the mighty Dobrovo Castle. It was founded in 1957, at a time when the vineyards underwent major modernisation, which placed Brda on the global wine map. The cellar is located 15 metres below the ground. Its two floors and a tower house all types of wine vessels, from barriques to large Slavonian oak barrels and stainless-steel tanks. Here our oenologists and cellarmen closely monitor the maturation and the evolution of different styles of wine. We also take particular pride in our rich collection of wines, comprising 100,000 bottles of premium vintage wines.

Klet Brda was established in 1957 as a cooperative and is still fully owned by local wine-growing families. On their behalf, the cooperative produces the wine, markets it in Slovenia and abroad and advises the wine growers on the work in the vineyards.

Our story begins in 1957, when Klet Brda Winery was established as a cooperative, however our true story, the story of wine making in our region Brda dates back to over thousands of years ago. Already before the Antient Romans invaded the region the vine was already widespead in Brda and tge Romans facilitated its expansion. In the middle ages wine was produced and sold by monasteries of the region but the most important moment for viniculture in Brda was at the end of the 19th century, beginning of the 20th century when count Silverio de Baguer, a diplomate and wine expert of the time brought the new technique of wine-growing to Brda. Because of his great importance for the evolution of wine in Brda we named our premium line of wines after him.
