Amazing! Even though we came there last-minute and unannounced, we felt very welcome. The hosts, a couple who is very passionate about wine and their vineyard, were very friendly and welcoming. We ended up enjoying a 3-hour long winetasting (including delicious snacks) with the host telling us about the different wines and how to taste the nuance in them. We had a very enjoyable conversation in which we got to ask any questions we had. We learned so much! We were explained the difference in taste depending on the production, the age of the wine, the kinds of berries and anything else you could think of or would want to know. We had a great time at Horvat, the passion and kindness of the hosts was amazing to see. This experience is one I will tell people about for...
Read moreWe had a great wine tasting together with Damian, who offered us a high variety of wines from their production to taste.
He is a very kind and passionate host, who enjoys to tell the stories behind the wines and some funny stories around the topic and Slovenian culture.
Next to the different wines, we have been given a plate with delicious cheese and snacks.
It is no typical "tourist tasting", where you only get a brief introduction and 2 or 3 wines to taste. You should plan some more time for this experience and it is absolutely worth it.
I can highly recommend...
Read moreWife and myself had a great time throughout the wine tasting, Damijan explained in detail about their vineyard, process in making wine and shared about Slovenian cultures as well.

Both of them are very warm and passionate about wine making, would definitely recommend the wine tasting session to anyone who visits Maribor. Do budget more time as Damijan shares more time and wine than published ! We truly enjoyed our time at...
