4.2-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.”

Vladamir (aka the fossil) was very funny and a pleasure to tour with. The sights were breathtaking and it was an enjoyable experience. Lunch included was beef noodle soup followed by a main + side salad. Very filling and tasted amazing. There was no rush and plenty of time was given for each activity. We also had the choice to add more time or use less time if needed.”

Here we had a tour of their cave and tasted with the hostess from the winery. The wine was great and we enjoyed this place the most. I would have liked to visit a third winery. I would recommend this and particularly would recommend going to Poljsak.”

Pickup was right on time, the van was clean and the combination of an old world and new world winery on the same trip was incredible. I'll never forget standing in the 100s of years old wine cellar, talking with the ACTUAL HEAD WINEMAKER, and sampling wines from the barrel!!”

“Vanesa was fantastic!! We went to a bunch of great spots and learned about food and wine regions along the way. One of the spots we liked so much we went back that night for dinner. And she had great recos, we ended up going to almost all of them while in the city and there wasn't a miss. I'm vegetarian and Vanesa didn't know beforehand. (I had emailed and conformed but I think there was a miscommunication and she didn't know before we arrived.) I was more than fine to skip food at some of the spots, but she was so quick to accommodate at every stop. Awesome experience.…”
