Ljubljana wine route

You are invited to the "2014 Ljubljana Wine Route" on Saturday, 8 November 2014 in the old city centre.

The event celebrates the folk tradition of the St. Martin's Day (Martinovanje), the day when must is turned into wine, and the stalls in front of restaurants in the old city centre present young wines and traditional Slovenian dishes.

Slovenia is a country of good wines distinguished by their remarkably natural tastes. Ljubljana is not part of a wine-growing region, but due to its tradition as a commercial centre for the country's wine-growing districts it holds the international title of a "City of Vine and Wine".

Ljubljana Wine Route, held annually in Ljubljana city centre, on the banks of the river Ljubljanica, brings together winemakers from all the wine-growing regions of Slovenia. Apart from wines, it also features traditional Slovenian dishes. Wines and food are available to visitors both for tasting and purchase at favourable prices. The event also offers an opportunity to enjoy brass band concerts and folklore shows and thus experience a bit of Slovenia's rich cultural heritage.

In case of bad weather, the market may be cancelled.
