Slovenian Wine Tasting

Discover the Soul of Slovenia – One Sip at a Time

Tucked into the hillside above Lake Bled, our historic wine cellar, dating back to 1906, is more than just a room full of bottles—it’s a gateway to Slovenia’s most exciting wine regions. With over 200 Slovenian labels in our house selection and a one-of-a-kind wine cellar for miles around, this is where curious travelers and wine lovers come to taste, discover, and fall in love with Slovenia—all over a glass of wine.

Each tasting is led by our in-house sommelier, Danijel Galjot, who takes you on a guided journey through the rich world of Slovenian winemaking. With years of experience and a talent for storytelling, Danijel doesn’t just pour wine—he connects you to the land, the people, and the centuries-old traditions behind every bottle. Tell him your favorite international wine, and he’ll surprise you with a Slovenian match that might just steal your heart.

And the best part? We offer two different tasting formats, each with its own rhythm and vibe.

🍇 Morning Tastings – Native Slovenia in a Glass
Every Thursday at 12:00 | 3 wines | €29 per person

Perfect for curious explorers and those new to Slovenian wines. These tastings focus exclusively on indigenous Slovenian grape varieties—the soulful, often unsung heroes of our wine culture.

You’ll taste three carefully selected wines, each telling a story of a different region, winemaker, or grape variety. Think Rebula, Zelen, Pinela, Šipon, Blaufränkisch… Paired with small local bites, this experience is both educational and incredibly flavorful. A beautiful way to start your day with elegance, insight, and a splash of wine-fueled inspiration.

🍷 Afternoon Tastings – Slovenia’s Wine Elite
Every Friday and Saturday at 16:00 | 5 wines | €39 per person

In the early afternoon, just before dinner, we bring out the very best: five top-tier Slovenian wines, hand-picked to showcase the diversity and excellence of our wine scene.

From elegant white wines from Styria, Vipava, and Bizeljsko to bold reds from the Karst, Dolenjska, Prekmurje, and Goriška Brda—you’ll discover Slovenia’s finest bottles in a single sitting. Each wine is introduced in full sommelier style—with food pairings, vineyard stories, and tasting techniques based on the WSET system.

Whether you’re new to wine or a seasoned collector, these tastings are designed to surprise, educate, and delight.
