Key information
Modern cuisine in the midst of Goričko vineyards
When wine and culinary heritage merge into one story
The Gjerkeš Estate in Fikšinci, Goričko, is not just a wine-producing homestead – it is a place where the wines of the past meet with the flavours of the future. The restaurant came to be as the family wine tradition was passed on, and where a passionate young team now creates boutique culinary experiences that are gracious and bold at the same time.
Surrounded by the hills and the quiet Pannonian landscape, the Gjerkeš Estate is the place where cuisine is not a part of an industrial chain but comes from an herb garden behind the house, from local fields, and from familiar producers. Every meal is a product of nature’s seasonal goods and the desire to create – with imagination that remains committed to the origins.
Either on the terrace in the midst of vineyards or in a modern-style furnished dining-room with a view of the surrounding landscape, guests can enjoy multiple-course menus, which do not hide their ambition: to show Goričko in a light that has never been seen before. This is a new story of Prekmurje.

The wealth of the region from a new perspective
Zero waste. Local. Inspired by wine.
The menu at the Gjerkeš Estate is inseparable from the seasons – it adapts to the seasonal ingredients that grow in the estate’s garden, or are sourced from nearby farmers. Herbs, vegetables, local cheeses and meats are the centre of attention but prepared in a remarkable manner that does not go unnoticed.
One of the key elements in their work is sustainability. The kitchen works under the “zero waste” principle – the ingredients are used up completely, often through different techniques and in at various stages of the menu. The sun, which ripens the grapes, also supplies the kitchen with power, as a large part of the necessary energy is produced by solar panels.
Table-booking system plays an important role as well as it grants complete control over the quantity of food. This means that no excess food is prepared as they know exactly how many guests they will be serving – and how. Their philosophy is best illustrated by their menu: every dish is a well-thought out composition of regional ingredients that are shown in a new light through creative processes. This is Goričko in a way you have never tasted before – contemporary, responsible and inspiring.
