Abstract
The paper presents the results of research that focused on dependence of vine growth to physical geographical conditions in the research area of Karst region - geologic, geomorphologic, climatic and soil conditions. Among the conditions the biggest impacts are climatic and soil conditions. We have found that in the case of the research area the geologic conditions are as important as climatic and soil conditions. Vine growth is best in the middle part of the research area, between the villages of Tomaj, Dutovlje in Križ and also in the area of Avber and Komen where specific geological formations cause the better soil quality.
