Slovenia is divided into three very productive winemaking regions, each with its own list of unique characteristics that turn its products into an amazing blend of flavors you won’t find anywhere else in the world.

Ljubljana, Slovenia’s spellbindingly green and vibrant capital, is a cultural hub where the multitude of the country’s traditions come to mingle. Wine is no exception. There’s a whole array of quaint wine cellars and wine bars in Ljubljana that serve the very best wines this subalpine gem has to offer.

By joining our Wine Tasting you’ll get the chance to taste 7 of the best Slovenian wines from all three regions mentioned above.

The sunny, bora-swept south, the endless vineyards of central Slovenia, and the wines from the northeast, the quality of which is influenced by winemaking traditions beyond our borders. A truly exquisite experience.

We’ll take you to a 300-year-old wine cellar, spoil you with delicious appetizers, and let our expert English-speaking sommelier lead you down the thrilling path of tasting a selection of Slovenia’s best wines. You’ll learn several interesting facts and unlock the secrets of Slovenia’s deeply respected winemaking tradition.

And you won’t be alone. You’ll be able to share this fantastic experience with other local and foreign wine tasters.

Remember, the best stories are always told and unforgettable memories are made over a glass of wine!

An experience to remember! We're a couple of friends unfamiliar with Slovenian wine, so when we sought an experience to understand and appreciate Slovenian wines, we couldn't have done better than with Boris. His love and passion for the wines of his country were easy to see. A fun moment was when he gave us each a blindfold for a taste test, and I think I need to drink wine like this from now on haha.. We felt that the session was a little rushed, but priceless nonetheless, and definitely recommended. You'll have a great time with the energetic, experienced and upbeat sommelier! Thanks, Boris, for giving us another reason to love Ljubljana!

The evening was wonderful. Hosted in a 300 year old cellar under a quaint bar next to the river. The setting is amazing and the wines are surprisingly good. Our host Boris is clearly passionate about Slovenian wines and his knowledge is outstanding. He explained all of the wines and the tastings are enough to get a good idea of just how good they are. The optional pairing with chocolate is a must do, as they complement the wines extremely well. The blind tasting of one of the wines is a bit of fun - something I have never tasted before. All together a great couple of hours of tasting wines from an area I was totally unfamiliar with. A must do when in Ljubljana.

Supert opplegg hvor vi fikk masse informasjon om slovensk vinproduksjon med smaking av de forskjellige typer vin de produserer. Boris var hyggelig, kunnskapsrik og veldig engasjerende! Vil virkelig anbefale dette for å innsyn i et nytt og lite kjent vinland. Han klarte også å sammenlikne de forskjellige typene slovenske viner med mer kjente typer fra Frankrike, Italia, USA og Australia, eller andre land og vintyper gruppa var kjent med slik at man hadde noen knagger å henge det på!

This was one of the best wine tastings I've ever done - highly recommend this experience! You are led through a cute wine bar into a back room/wine cellar for the tasting, immediately setting the mood. Tina was incredibly welcoming and knowledgable - both about Slovenian wine and the history of Slovenia. The tasting was well-paced and included a variety of wines, one of which we tasted blind, which was fun. The wines were all from small family-owned wineries, which is most of what you apparently find in Slovenia, and were all delicious. The only downside was they are not widely exported - I will just have to return to Ljubljana for more!

We enjoy doing wine tastings where we travel to learn about the wines of that country. Since Slovenia doesn’t really sell any outside of the country it was a good opportunity to learn and taste. We were in a wine cellar several hundred years old and Boris did an excellent job explaining the industry and the background of the 7 wines we tasted. There was also pumpkin seed oil for dipping bread, nuts, dried fruit, cheese and olives. Boris made the event a lot of fun and even did a blind tasting of the orange wine. A wonderful evening and we highly recommend it!

Marvelous and fun two hours of wine tasting consisitng of at least seven wines, accompanied by a small tasting platter, and with additioanal wines in accordance to our preferences. Boris, the host, was charming, enthusiastic and perfectly answered all our questions while the setting of the underground wine cellar was enjoyabble and really atmospheric. We feel we've learnt a lot about some of the best Slovenian wines and it was really great that we were able to buy our most liked ones immediately and the place. Highly recommend this event!

To start by saying that Slovenian wines are significantly under-rated would be a severe understatement. So, if you get a chance to have the experience of trying several different types of wine from the country while having some snacks in a cool centuries old cellar, then you go for that. With the slotted wines and a few others, you can "upgrade" to try, we had 9 tastes in all. Even ones we did not expect to appreciate were good. The host, Boris is knowledgeable and engaging and gives lots of information about the wines and Slovenia. I feel like we learned a lot....or would have were it not for the 9 tastings. A very nice experience that really highlights what the country has to offer to wine drinkers.

This was a real wine tasting not a tourist party. We tasted 7 wines from several different Slovenian wine regions. You get enough nibbles to cleanse the palate but not for a meal. Our sommelier was knowledgeable, personable, and had great English. It’s what I had hoped for but didn’t expect. If you want to further your understanding of Slovenian wine this is the best way.

I have done and seen already more wine tastings in several countries, but Boris took this very serious. We tasted 7 different wines, starting with a light Zelen wine over a surprisingly elegant Riesling, a fabulous orange wine, a (secret) rosé and two red wines to end up with a sweet wine. He explained all this in a very enthousiast way so we know and understand more about Slovenian wines now. I can highly recommend this experience!

We had a great experience tasting 7 different wines with Boris - the two hours flew by really fast. The blind taste testing of one wine was a pleasant surprise. Finger foods are also provided and included a tasting of pumpkin seed oil. Boris is passionate about wine and provided lots of facts and information as we tasted the different wines. Highly recommend this wine tasting if you want to get to know Slovenian wines!

Stunning experience, we descover Sloveny by a nice and exhaustive wine trip. It was very interesting, relaxing and exciting! I strongly suggest this wine tasting, either for the complete knowledge about slonenian wines and vineyard or for the magic atmosphere that we lived. Tina was kind, nice and a very expert wine specialist. The quality of wine was amazing, and the tasting was escort with clear description of all the products.. I really suggest this wine tasting in the city center of Ljubljana😍❤️

Amazing wine tasting experience in a very old wine cellar! Boris was a great host and teacher for the evening, I learned so much about wine making in Slovenia. The ambiance of the wine cellar really adds to an already great experience. I will be ordering some wines to enjoy in the US!

Having attended many wine tastings in the US, we were interested to learn more about Slovenian wines. This wine tasting was educational, enjoyable, fun and we left with a much greater appreciation for the great wines we enjoyed both at the wine tasting and our travels around the country. I highly recommend this outing if you enjoy exploring new wines.

Great wine tasting experience in an old cellar. Boris was a great host, very knowledgeable and fun! Definitely worth doing to experience the wines and history of wines in Slovenia

This is a must do in Ljubljana if you want to try Slovenian wine! Boris is fantastic and takes you on a journey through the different wine regions of Slovenia all while sitting in a “secret” Roman cellar you’d never expect to be there. The wines were diverse, great for any palette, and certainly unique to Slovenia. If you don’t know what Orange wine is, then you absolutely cannot say no to this experience. The groups are small and the wine and light bites are delicious.

Absolutely magical experience. Boris is such a wonderful character which makes this experience even more special. Not only did we learn so much, the wine was incredible (so much so that we have flown back to Dubai with many bottles) and will certainly be ordering more! Boris recommended and even took us to some wonderful bars/restaurants within the city which made me fall in love with Slovenia even more. We will 100% be back, and urge anyone to sign up to this experience!

Boris was our sommelier. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Slovenian wine and there wasn't a question he couldn't answer. The experience was very unique and one of the best wine tastings I have been on. The wines we tasted and the snacks to accompany them were incredible. We highly recommend you also do the chocolate paring. You will not be disappointed. The space is a super old, original, Roman era cellar with all kinds of fascinating details. You will love this experience.

We had so much fun at our wine tasting. We booked it on a whim a few days before our arrival in Ljubljana, and it was the best thing we could have done. Boris was so knowledgeable, charismatic, and kind. He suggested we book one of their tours in the Vipava Valley and we are so grateful we did. Truly a wonderful Slovenian experience that has set the tone for our whole trip. Boris also gave many suggestions and tips for the rest of our week and we are so appreciative of the time he took to do so.

I had a really good time at wine tasting. The celler in Dvorni Bar is just perfect for this kind of event.The athmosphere was great. Even I am from Slovenia I had a really good experience. I heard a lot of Slovenian wines which I didn't even know about. The host, Boris was really friendly with a lot of knowledge about wine. Wines were really tasty.

We booked a wine tasting with Boris very last minute after other plans in town fell through. We could not have been happier with our choice. Boris escorted us and a 2 other people down into the cellar, and presented us with our tasting setup. He had put out a very solid spread (bread, cheese, dried fruit) to accompany wine tasting, which we appreciated after we were a few wines in. We had 7 different wines on the tasting menu, all of which we really enjoyed; even varieties that we were not typically fans of. Boris gave us a lot of history about all of the different wines from Slovenia and presented them in a really fun way, all without any of the pretentiousness that can come with wine tastings. This is an absolute must-do experience if you enjoy wine at all. PS. Be sure to bring an extra €6 for the chocolate tasting! We thought it was great!

Our guide to Slovenian wines, Boris, was a passionate and well-informed wine lover that made the whole experience both entertaining and interesting. As a wine aficionado myself, I often go to tastings and Boris is way up there – in wine knowledge but especially in presentation and enthusiasm. And the fantastic cellar we were in is one of the nicest places I have had a tasting in. If you want a stiff and boring tasting, this is not for you. If you want passion and a great atmosphere, and try a really varied assortment of what Slovenia has to offer – this is it.

We attended the wine tasting and really enjoyed it. The cellar has a great deal of history to it and Boris did a great job educating us on the different wines and the regions they are from in Slovenia. I didn’t realise before we visited the country just how good the local wine is. A great way to pass a couple of hours, enjoyed the interaction with others in attendance too from different countries.

Our guide was really entertaining, it was a very informative experience. Also a lot of fun, a wine tasting with a couple of nice surprises. The room is small but cosy and for the appetizers you can expect a plate of olives, cheese and some dry fruit and nuts. Wines were amazing, the same as our guide, he was really passionate about his job and wine. If you have a couple of hours to spare from 17.00, i warmly reccomend attending this experience :) PS: the group was small, we were just 3 people there for the tasting, that was a big plus, as we had the time to ask any silly questions we had about wines.

We had an amazing time at this winetasting session. After Boris told us so many interesting facts and stories about the Slovenian wines, we even decided to visit one of those wineries in Vipavska Dolina area. I highly suggest to participate in this winetasting if you are interested in wines. You will not regret this experience.

We loved this wine tasting experience. The setting is very cool, in a 300 year old wine cellar with Boris who is a great host. We tasted 7 Slovenian wines which were accompanied by snacks of cheese, olives, bread and pumpkin oil (this oil is incredible). We tried orange wine for the first time and fell in love with it - we had to stay for a couple of glasses after! In all this is a great value wine tasting that is very informative and fun. Boris takes you through the history of different grapes, regions and vineyards - he knows his stuff and it was great fun to learn from him. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend this wine tasting in Ljubljana. The price is very fair, the wine selection is good and there's even a little something to nibble on! The people hosting the wine tasting are very knowledgeable and knows how to adapt to all type of clientele (my group had young adults that didn't know much about wine, but they had a great time and learned a lot). Thanks Natasa & Boris!

A great experience! Such a great way to learn about wine, It was lovely and funny. I participated the Wine Tasting Tour. 7 different types of wine, snack of bread, cheese plate, olives, pumpkin seed oil and some chocolate with wine. Boris introduced us all Slovenian wine regions and added some interesting stories about wine production. For me the winner of the night was blind tasting, I don't want to say something about the wine because it is a game but I must to say I tried it for the first time and I loved so much.

We participated a Wine Tasting Tour in Ljubljana with Boris. It was a great time to be there. We really enjoyed. It was a unique experience to know about the wine industry in Slovenia. If you are interested in wine, you must join. This activity is very nice for the first night in the city as a tourist. The place is very nicely decorated and Boris has all the information about wine and Slovenia. He is a well-known person. Also, the blind test is very special. You will never know. :) It is definitely worthed.

Exceptional experience learning about Slovenian wines inside a 600 year old wine cellar. The 7 Slovenain wines are all refreshingly different and the snacks are well welcomed, esp the pumpkin seed oil - the 2+ hours spent is very worth it.
