Taste seven Slovenian wines with appetizers in Ljubljana Castle cellar, in English with an expert sommelier for $64 per person, 90 minutes.

The appetizers consisted of one tiny plate of nibbles for two people to share. There was an extra charge of $6 to get a couple bits of chocolate. We tried 7 wines which were delicious, the experience felt rushed. That said we did enjoy much of it.”
