In 1990, the family took its first steps in fruit growing and processing, guided by a clear understanding that true quality always begins with the raw material. Rooted in tradition, patience, and respect for nature, a vision gradually emerged — to create distillates that are pure, authentic, and unmistakably distinctive.
When Jure, together with Eva, took over the craft and elevated it with a contemporary approach and technological expertise, the Tekmec brand was born — boutique in scale, thoughtfully guided, and focused on delivering exceptional quality in every batch.
We aim to redefine the perception of Slovenian fruit distillates and place them alongside the finest European boutique distilleries. Tekmec is built on purity, authenticity, and a distinctive sensory signature — a distillate that speaks of fruit and terroir, not additives.
Mission
To capture the very best of Slovenian fruit in every bottle.
Through hands-on oversight, small-batch production, and precise distillation, Tekmec creates spirits that preserve knowledge, refine craft, and express nature, time, and a distinct signature.
1
Purity
Without compromise. We select only perfectly ripe fruit, ferment without unnecessary additives, and distil with precision to achieve an exceptionally clean and elegant flavour.
2
Authenticity
Every vintage is different — and that is its value, not a flaw. A distillate should reflect the year, the fruit, and the terroir, not uniformity.
3
Signature
Small batches, a hands-on process, and a constant pursuit of balance. Tekmec is a signature — in taste, aroma, and experience.
4
Respect for the raw material
We treat fruit as a precious resource. Our goal is to preserve its character, not overpower it.
Tekmec begins at the tree. Fruit does not arrive to us as a raw material — we follow it long before it ripens. Our processes are never rushed, fermentations are not “corrected,” and distillation is guided by hand and intent. We do not pursue industrial uniformity, but preserve the true character of each vintage.
This is why Tekmec is different: because we work slower, produce less — but better. Because we start in the orchard, not with a recipe. Because we believe in purity, not additives.
Tekmec is a family story. The team brings together expertise in fruit growing, experience in processing, and a passion for exceptional distillates. Every step — from orchard to bottling — is guided personally, with attention to detail and a deep sense of responsibility for quality.
