WINE QUEEN

In 2018, the 22nd noble title of Slovenian Wine Queen went to our Katarina Pungračič. Katarina completed her studies in agriculture at the Faculty of Agriculture and Biosystem Sciences in Maribor. She has been in close contact with agriculture and working in the vineyard since she was a child, and has also completed a course to become an amateur sommelier. Upon receiving the flattering title, she shared the following family guideline for TV Slovenia: "I am ready to give one hundred percent and even more of myself. As my father likes to say, if you can't do everything in one day, get up an hour earlier."

HISTORY

Knowledge and devotion to Haloska land has been handed down on our farm for five generations. Our story began with Ana and Anton, who took a small property on top of the hill as a wedding gift. They were the owners of a small vineyard, their annual harvest yielded a good 5 half liters of wine. For that time, this was a lot, because they produced so much that they could also sell wine, and they also sold some livestock. Thus, they successfully started a story that we are trying to preserve even today. Their son Jože wanted to continue their story, who chose Marija from the neighboring hill as his wife. Their first son, Anton, was soon born, but instead of living together as a family, the war engulfed our region. In a way, Jože made sacrifices for his family and joined the army in 1940 so that they could live together when he returned. But after Jože's return, he was again forced to choose the safety of his family, he never got the chance to live with his family. Marija, like most women at that time, went to work in Maribor with a belly for bread. She left Anton with her parents. Something always drew Anton back home, so he loved to return to his native home. Upon his return from the army in 1963, he decided to take over the reins of the farm. He took the young Terezia as his wife, who had a great desire to open tourism on the farm and thus the possibility of new income for the farm. Thus, in 1984, our farm officially opened its doors to visitors for the first time.

We are a family farm, which means that the majority of the work is distributed among our family. On the property itself, you will come across the head of the family of Roberta Pungračič, who brought his wife Martina with him from the Ptuj plain. Their two daughters, Tamara and Katarina, diligently help them in their work, each in their own field. Grandma and grandpa live next to them, and they still faithfully help with the tasks in the vineyard. Grandparents from the Ptuj plain also come to help.
