Description
Embark on an exploration of Slovenia’s winemaking heritage in Ptuj, a city deeply rooted in wine culture, where every sip reveals distinctive flavours and the character of one of Europe’s most underrated wine countries.
Slovenia is a small but remarkably diverse wine nation, shaped by centuries of tradition and craftsmanship. Its wines come from three main wine regions: Podravje in the north-east, Posavje in the south-east, and Primorska in the west. Ptuj lies at the heart of Podravje, Slovenia’s largest wine region, known for its long-standing viticultural history, rolling vineyards, and some of the country’s most respected wine families. Many estates here trace their winemaking heritage back several centuries.
This tasting focuses on orange wines — a style that bridges ancient tradition and contemporary craftsmanship. Made by fermenting white grapes on their skins, orange wines are expressive, textured, and full of unexpected aromas and structure. Slovenian producers have gained international attention for their mastery of this style, often combining traditional methods with organic or biodynamic farming to produce wines of strong identity and authenticity.
During the tasting, you’ll sample five carefully selected Slovenian orange wines, chosen to showcase different expressions, grape varieties, and approaches to skin-contact winemaking. Guided by a professional sommelier, you’ll be taken on a sensory journey that goes beyond the glass. You’ll hear the stories behind the wines and the families who produce them, learn how orange wines are made, and understand how terroir and tradition shape their unique profiles.
This experience is designed to be both engaging and accessible — ideal for curious wine lovers who want to deepen their understanding of Slovenian wine culture while enjoying a relaxed, expertly guided tasting in Ptuj.
