Tomaz Winery: A Must-Visit Attraction in Istria
This is the place where wines are born, the place where dreams come true. Here is truly a story of transformation, passion and family commitment.
The Story Behind Tomaz Winery
Klaudio Tomaz, once a butcher, now a passionate winegrower, is rightly proud of his creative feat. The winery covers 1,650 square meters, and the tasting room offers a breathtaking experience. Here, Claudio and his son Antonio, who inherited his love for wine, create wines that win world awards.
Even before the official opening, this cellar became a symbol of family tradition and dedication. For Klaudio, building this modern cellar was not only an investment in winemaking but also in his family’s future.
The Winemaking Magic
Klaudio may not be a trained oenologist, but he is an example of how crucial the passion for wine is to achieving world-class quality. At the same time, Tomaz’s wines carry the soul of the family, the tradition and the identity of Motovun.
Let’s not forget Teran, the wine subject to a dispute. Claudio defended the right of Istrian winemakers to the name “Teran” and succeeded. That wine is their heritage, and they proudly represent Istrian Teran worldwide.
