Marezige is a village in the northern part of the Savrin Hills with the surrounding hamlets: Bernetici, Bianci, Brzani, Burji, Krmci, Marencini, Montinjan, Plahuti, Rokavci, Sabadini and Skrgati.
Marezige is already mentioned as a colonate estate in the first lists of villages of the Koper commune, which are listed in the statutes from 1423. The village called Maresego is also mentioned in their works by the Bishop of Novigrad, Giacomo Filippo Tommasini, and the Bishop of Koper, Paolo Naldini (1700). The latter states that in his time the village consisted of around fifty houses, which were scattered on the slopes of the hills. The old folk school and library grew in 1862, and the social and cultural life was lively, which in 1898 helped Marezige become the seat of the municipality, which made all-round progress under Mayor Matej Kocjančič in the decade before the First World War. A savings bank with a loan company, a consumer society flourished, and the sale of wine, fruit, vegetables and milk, as well as trade fairs, became established in economic life. The municipality was considered far and wide as the "stronghold of Slovenes" and in 1910 had 3,1280 inhabitants. The national consciousness and rebelliousness of the locals were fully demonstrated during the fascist violence on May 15, 1921, during the parliamentary elections. Marezigan rebellion as a distinct act of national defense, it represented the first flame of resistance against fascism in Istria, which is why the municipality of Koper declared this day its municipal holiday in 1959. In the same year, a magnificent monument to those who fell in the Marezigan uprising and during the national liberation struggle of 1941-1945 was erected. The village was burned during the German offensive in October 1943. In the post-war period, the Mareziges focused on the accelerated reconstruction and development of agriculture. Since 1972, the now traditional Refoska Festival has been held with the evaluation of wines and the presentation of old traditions and customs. There is a spacious wine cellar in the village, which opens its doors for important events.
Marezige is known for the first wine fountain for wine tasting in Istria. Visitors can taste both open and premium wines from Slovenian Istria. From here, there is also a wonderful view of Savrin Hills and towards Koper and the wider surrounding area.
