Orange Wine Tasting in Ljubljana with Experienced Sommelier

This tasting experience in Ljubljana suits wine enthusiasts interested in Slovenia’s unique orange wines and winemaking heritage.

Description

Discover Slovenia’s winemaking heritage through a tasting of traditional orange wines, made by fermenting white grapes with extended skin contact to produce distinctive color, texture, and complexity.

Slovenia features three main wine regions: Podravje (northeast), Posavje (south), and Primorska (west). Its winemaking culture is rich with centuries-old family estates and practices, blending ancient techniques and modern craftsmanship. Many producers use organic or biodynamic methods to maintain vineyard authenticity.

During the session, you will sample five carefully selected orange wines representing various grape varieties and winemaking styles. A sommelier with over ten years of experience will guide you through the tasting, explaining techniques, sharing producer stories, and answering questions. This relaxed and educational activity is suitable as an evening plan after exploring Ljubljana or as an indoor option during hot or rainy weather.
