2-Hour Interactive Wine Tasting Experience in Bled

5.2-Hour Interactive Wine Tasting Experience in Bled

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 243 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $70

Join Boris, Tina, or another local wine expert at a 100-year-old cellar in Bled for seven Slovenian wines, simple appetizers, games, and wine challenges. The two-hour evening begins at 8:30 pm and covers several wine regions in a relaxed, social setting.

“The wine selection was very good and we enjoyed trying 7 wines from Slovenia. Boris was very knowledgeable about the wine he chose and regions each one came from. That being said, there was a lot of time spent on upselling other wines, chocolate and investing in his startup company. That plus the fact that the wine tasting was supposed to be 2 hours and it ended up being 1.5 instead with Boris rushing through made me take two stars off my rating. Overall I was happy enough with the experience but if these two points were different I’d have rated it much higher.”

A few more insider tips or fun facts about Ljubljana would have made the experience even better, but it didn't detract from the overall enjoyment. We had a great time and enjoyed the company of the other participants from Wales and France. Overall, this tour is a great way to explore the culinary side of Ljubljana.”
