Eco Farm and Winery Hauptman

In Šober near Bresternica, in the hills northwest of Maribor, Hauptman Organic Farm and Wine Tavern combines organic food production with winemaking and traditional farm hospitality. The farm's identity is closely connected to its own produce, bringing locally grown ingredients and wine together in a countryside setting near the city.

The food selection focuses on organically produced ingredients, including seasonal vegetables, homemade cheeses, spreads and meat products. These are served alongside wines from the farm, reflecting the area's winemaking traditions. Rather than an elaborate restaurant menu, the emphasis is on familiar regional foods and products associated with rural Styrian cooking.

The farm also keeps local wine-growing customs alive through seasonal celebrations. Two notable occasions are the raising of the traditional vineyard wind rattle, known as a klopotec, and St Martin's Day, when the new wine is celebrated. These events connect the farm's food and wine with the traditions of the hills around Maribor.
