This intimate experience unfolds in a cozy cellar at Komen 85, where the distinct terroir of the Karst limestone plateau shapes every flavor. Known for its rugged landscapes punctuated by underground caves and rich red soils, the Karst region’s unique microclimate is ideal for producing bold wines, cured meats, and cheeses treasured across Europe.

This tasting experience, lasting about 60 to 90 minutes, introduces visitors to a curated selection of three outstanding local wines, each reflecting the mineral-driven character of the region’s vineyards. Guests then sample Karst prosciutto dry-aged for over thirty months, along with boutique specialties like salami, pork neck, pâté, or sausage—all crafted by producers who honor age-old recipes and sustainable methods. Complementing the meats are exceptional cheeses from renowned local makers such as Zidarič, offering creamy cow’s milk varieties, and Antonič, known for its mellow sheep cheeses. Freshly baked homemade bread, using traditional stone-ground flour and natural sourdough, provides the ideal base for these rich flavors.

To elevate the tasting, Miro’s offers two distinct regional spirits and a selection of vinegars unique to the Karst, each with a story of heritage and innovation. The cellar itself is much more than a backdrop; it’s where history, culture, and passion converge, revealing the dedication behind every bottle and every bite.
