At home in Brda since 1710
The Gašparin family boasts a rich history of winemaking and hospitality dating back to 1740, when Blaž Gašparin, a renowned notary of the Brda region at the time, managed several family farms. Over the generations, the passion for cultivating grapevines has been passed down from one generation to the next.
This beautiful legacy of winemaking and hospitality was continued by Boris and Maruška Gašparin in 1970. Together with Maruška’s father, Silverij Vuga, they set out to create distinctive and auteur wines with a clear philosophy: less is more.
This philosophy was carried forward in 2004 by Tadej and Taras Gašparin, sons of Boris and Maruška Gašparin. Alongside their grandfather Silverij, they began cultivating new vineyards, driven by a clear vision: producing wines using the classic method with secondary fermentation on the Brda soil.
In 2006, Silverij Vuga passed away.
In his memory, Taras and Tadej dedicated the entire name of their winery to their grandfather, thus creating the brand of sparkling wines and wines known as Silveri.
Today, the Gašparin brothers, along with their team, live in the present while maintaining a deep respect for the past. In their sparkling wines and wines, born from careful and loving vineyard cultivation, one can feel their philosophy and the ideas they follow.
History, memories, and tradition represent reference points and a solid foundation for the present, which day by day builds the future.

Silverij Vuga 1934 - 2006
Silverij Vuga. Our biggest inspiration from the very beginning. He has been involved in winemaking all his life. His beginnings with wines date back to his childhood. A great reveler, among other things an important voice in the Brda octet. Always a lover of sparkling wines and bubbles. It was out of this passion that Taras and Tadej continued their journey dedicated to sparkling wines. He left us in 2006.
