Villa Russiz is far more than just a winery; it is a place where a love for the land, viticulture, and humanity intertwine. Situated in the heart of the Collio Goriziano, the estate spans 45 hectares of DOC Collio vineyards—a hilly region sheltered by the Julian Alps and cooled by Adriatic Sea breezes, creating an ideal microclimate for winemaking. This corner of the Collio Goriziano owes its winemaking heritage to the vision and passion of two extraordinary founders: Baroness Elvine Ritter de Zàhony and Count Theodor de La Tour. Their love story laid the foundation for a project that remains a hallmark of excellence in the international wine world today. Yet, Villa Russiz is not limited to producing fine wines. From the very beginning, Elvine dedicated her energy to establishing care and educational facilities for disadvantaged children. This spirit of charity and altruism still permeates the mission of the Villa Russiz Foundation, which continues to support those in need through social and educational initiatives. Today, the Villa Russiz Foundation manages the estate's property and agricultural assets, reinvesting the proceeds into the Children's Home.
