Ljubljana: Wine Tasting Experience with Appetizers

7.Wine Tasting Experience with Appetizers

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 108 reviews · from $62

Taste seven Slovenian wines in Ljubljana’s 300-year-old cellar, with appetizers, lively stories, and a hands-on English wine lesson.

“Our tour guide was fun and very knowledgeable. I appreciated how he made it an interactive wine tasting. Unfortunately, our event started late and ended early. It felt a little rushed. And the venue - a 300-hundred y/o wine celler was not available as advertised, so it was held in a private room of the restaurant. Apparently a snafu on the restaurant's part. But the 7 wines we tasted were quite good.”
