Ljubljana Castle Wine Tasting of Slovenian Wines

The Ljubljana Castle Wine Tasting of Slovenian Wines is a two-hour guided tasting held at Ljubljana Castle, the hilltop fortress above the Old Town of the Slovenian capital, in the central Slovenia region. The listings are resold through Musement, and the venue is the castle wine cellar, which is described as about 300 years old. The meeting point is given in listings as either the Dvorni bar entrance or the castle wine cellar on the Grajska planota, with one listing giving the address as Dvorni trg 2, so visitors should check their voucher. A wine expert leads the session and presents seven Slovenian wines from different wine regions of the country, allowing comparison between styles from areas such as the coastal, Pannonian and Podravje regions. Appetizers are served alongside the wines, so the focus is on wine with light savoury accompaniments and no sweet course is listed. The price is approximately EUR 43 per person, which includes the seven-wine tasting, appetizers, a certificate naming the participant an ambassador of Slovenian wines and a souvenir. Funicular or walking access to the castle and any castle admission are not described as included, so visitors should confirm these separately. Guests must be 18 or over, and the group is capped at 40 participants, so the session is a medium-sized group rather than a private tasting. The expert guide presents the wines in English, with a pace that allows time to taste and discuss each wine. Dietary needs such as vegetarian appetizers should be requested when booking. The tasting is a good fit for visitors combining a castle visit with an introduction to Slovenian wine, and because the cellar is indoors it works in any season.
