Vinoteka maribor
Save money by reserving your car rental through Auto Europe before you leave the USA. I visited on a day trip from Ljubljana by rental car. Staying in Maribor: There’s a wide choice of hotels in Maribor around the charming old center of the city, adjacent to the riverside Lent quarter. Click on this link for my post with more ideas for what to see and do in Maribor. Reservations can be made at the Maribor-Pohorje tourist board info point in the city center or online, but are not needed for Individuals or small groups (less than 15). Mineral water will be cheerfully served to your designated driver. Visiting the Maribor Wine Tunnels: You must be 18 for wine tasting here, but I was told that teens 16 and up can taste under the supervision of their parents.

You’ll emerge from the Vinag 1847 wine tunnels in Maribor as a Slovenian wine superhero. If you have more time, tours to specialized winemakers in the surrounding region can be arranged through the tourist office. A surprising dry red called Modra Frankinja is one of my favorites in the region, which is more famous for its whites.There’s an annual competition to pick the white wine that is best for the Styrian spritzer, a drink that is taken seriously in Maribor. Vinag features white wines named Mariborčan and Mariborčanka - Maribor guy and girl. One or two generous samples are included with the “classic” or classic premium tour, and of course you can pay for more wine tasting with or without food. It’s “ wine mold” which is said to be the sign of a good winemaking environment. It sent a tour group of from Japan running for their face masks, we were told, but there’s no reason to worry. Don’t worry about the black “mold” you see on the walls. You can still see bottles for the wine from the famous 400-year-old vine.

Some 250,000 more recent bottles are still in storage. Another portion of the cellar was a repository for rare vintages, although few survived the thirsty occupying Nazis - and bad corks.
