Vinakras Sežana Winery has been making high-quality wines since 1947. One especially stands out: Teran PTP, a special Slovenian wine produced from the Refosco grape variety. The specific properties of the climate and the soil contribute to this grape producing a wine that is specific to the Karst Plateau: teran. Teran is revered for its unique bouquet, full body, high extract, and intensely vivid ruby-red color. Teran is a full-bodied, dense wine that strengthens one’s body. Each glass of teran hides the whole of Karst in it: the red soil, the bora wind, the sun, and the persistence of a winegrower from Karst.
The Ham Producer Lokev na Krasu, the oldest prosciutto producing facility in the Slovenian Karst, was recently renamed to Ham Producer s’Krasa.
In this land of scarce vegetation near Lipica, farmers have been employing traditional methods of making cured meats in the early November for centuries.

The Krasna house of hospitality is a small family hotel with five rooms that are incredibly spacious, bright, and furnished for a comfortable and relaxing holiday.
