Our homemade gin Burje, crafted with the utmost love and creativity by the chef and owner of Eco house Na razpotju, Primož Plesnik, has won multiple international awards.
Gin Burje is distinguished by the aromas and flavors of the high mountain plateaus of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. Distilled from natural extracts of juniper berries, dwarf pine needles, and selected alpine herbs, this gin truly embodies the authentic alpine experience in every glass. Crafted from nine different herbs, it owes its unique alpine character to the dwarf pine, known locally as "Burje," from which the gin gets its name. Together, these herbs create a story that will soothe your soul and delight your taste buds.
Each herb, along with the pine needles, is handpicked and carefully prepared for the steam distillation process. This meticulous approach ensures that every sip tells a story of sustainable respect for nature, capturing the full alpine character that Primož, the creator of our gin, sought to preserve.
We serve this drink chilled, over ice, often mixed with a high-quality tonic containing real quinine, and garnished with a sprig of juniper or pine and a few juniper berries.

The gin Masters 2026
Gin Burje Wins the Highest Honour - MASTER
We are proud to announce that Gin Burje has been awarded a MASTER medal, the highest honour at one of the world’s most prestigious gin competitions – The Gin Masters 2026, organised in London by the renowned British industry publication The Spirits Business.
The competition is regarded as one of the most important international gin competitions, with entries evaluated through blind tastings by an international panel of experts. The judges are not given any information about the producer, country of origin or brand, meaning that their decisions are based solely on the quality, aroma, taste and overall character of the gin. MASTER is the competition’s highest distinction and is awarded only to the highest-scoring gins. The achievement also attracted international attention, with the award-winning gins featured by the renowned Forbes magazine.
Special recognition goes to Primož Plesnik, who, together with his team, has been developing the story of Gin Burje for many years with great dedication, expertise and precision. This international success confirms that a world-class gin can be created even in the heart of Slovenia’s Logar Valley.
Gin Burje is produced using the London Dry method, exclusively from natural ingredients. Its distinctive character is shaped by carefully selected herbs, inspired by the pristine nature of the Kamnik–Savinja Alps. In addition to its latest MASTER medal, Gin Burje has received several other international awards, and this newest recognition places it among the finest gins in its category.
If you would like to discover this award-winning gin for yourself, we invite you to join one of the tasting experiences at Posestvo na Razpotju, where, alongside Gin Burje, you can discover the story behind its creation, selected Alpine herbs and the flavours of homemade local delicacies.

Odlikujejo ga vonjave in okusi visokogorskih planot Kamniško-Savinjskih Alp.
Destiliran je iz naravnih izvlečkov brinovih jagod, iglic ruševja ter izbranih alpskih zelišč, zato radi rečemo, da gin Burje prinaša v kozarec pristno izkušnjo alpskega okolja. Aromatični destilati so iz materine dušice, dobre misli, mete, melise, rmana, ognjiča in lipe, ki ustvarjajo zgodbo, ki bo pobožala vašo dušo in razvajala vaše brbončice.
Vsa zelišča so vzgojena in nabrana v Logarski dolini na vrtovih, ki jih obdelujemo po permakulturnih načelih, nekaj samoniklih zelišč v sezoni pa naberemo na Plesnikovi planini na višini nad 1100 m nadmorske višine. Ime BURJE izvira iz grmičastega bora, ki raste med skalovjem nad gozdno mejo 1100 m na Plesnikovi planini - na Solčavskem poznanega kot »burje«.
Vsa zelišča ter borove iglice ročno osmukamo ter jih pripravimo za nadaljnji postopek parne destilacije. Prav zato je vsak požirek zgodba o trajnostnem odnosu do narave, ki je Primožu, ustvarjalcu našega gina, omogočil, da je ujel okus polnega alpskega karakterja.
Pijačo serviramo ohlajeno s kockami ledu, največkrat jo mešamo z visokokakovostnim tonikom, ki vsebuje pravi kinin, z dekorativnim dodatkom brinove ali borove vejice in nekaj brinovih jagod.
