We had an excellent wine tour with Jernej. He has a vast network among the local farmers - both traditional and biodynamic. His good relationship with the locals gave us the opportunity of an intimate tour with good talks with the farmers and a great insight into the local wines. Also, he provides information about the city history and it's wine history. Jernej is a very pleasant and knowledgeable guide and a genuine guy. He is also sommelier at one of the city's top restaurants, Restaurant Mak. You wont find a better wine guide in Maribor.

Absolutely incredible!!!! Jernej tailored the entire experience to our preferences. The entire experience was unreal and once in a lifetime opportunity. Jernej leveraged his relationships in the area to give us a personal and intimate experience that we never would have had access too. We ate charcuterie next to the vineyard at a family farm, enjoyed region desserts with a spectacular view and some much more.

Jernej was an amazing guide! We went on a private tour to three different spots. He is incredibly knowledgable, passionate, and personable. He made the tour fun and informative. I would highly recommend to go on this tour while in Maribor. You will meet interesting people doing amazing things with wine!
Please go on this tour!

We had an amazing wine tour with Jernej. He tailor-made the tour based around our personal wine preferences and took us to visit beautiful vineyards in the Maribor area, where we learned a lot about the winemaking process and tasted the best wines available. Both his knowledge about wine and network of the local farmers are exquisite. One of the highlights of our trip to Slovenia!

This was one of the best wine tours I’ve been on! Jernej is amazing - extremely knowledgeable about wine, but extra passionate about Slovenian wine. He tools us great vineyards that the average traveler wouldn’t know about (nor could we find!).
I can’t recommend Big Guy’s Wine Tours enough! It’s a lovely day exploring Maribor and the local wineries and learning about this fascinating region.
Book it - you won’t be disappointed!

Jernej is such a knowledgable and passionate wine expert it is hard not to be infected by his enthusiasm. Not only does he have impeccable taste, but he has extensive knowledge of the history of the wine and culture! I highly recommend his wine touring services to anyone in Slovenia.

We've had a wine tour in Maribor. Jernej is a really great guide who explained us everything about all the different aspects of wine, and also many things about the history of Maribor. As he said, you have to read wines like you read a book. We're not that far but we're growing in it thanks to Jernej. If you like wine you should definitely do a tour with the big guy!

Jernej was really helpful and he went above and beyond to make sure that we had a fantastic day visiting wineries around Maribor. The Big Guy has the contacts and knowledge and the wineries he chose for us were all wonderful. They couldn’t do enough for us on the day. This is a must do!

We ADORED our time with Jernej. His knowledge and natural passion for wine is incredible. I've been to many wineries, wine tastings and vineyards and we learned more from him in a few hours than all those past experiences in our lives combined.
He was able to tailor things to our likes (like dry wines and our interest in trying natural, orange wines unique to the Slovenian region) and even educated us about corks when we asked. It was SO interesting!
He's very personable and great to be around, which makes the entire experience even better! HIGHLY recommend. I will definitely be doing another experience with him when we find ourselves back in the area!

Jenrej is a nice guy,
he loves his wines, as we do now.
He is funny and his english is ok.
Great place to relax, and experience the tasteful secrets of slovenia.
Any other requests you might have, he will try and make them possible.
So dont hesitate to contact him.
We have done a lot of wine tours in Austria, so we are quite experienced.
This one is in fact one of the better ones. Charming and delicate wines for a resonable price.
We also got the option to eat some traditional foods.
We would defenetly go there again, as we had a great afternoon/evening there.
As we only had little space in our car, he offered us to send the ordered wines via post to our home in Austria. That made everything much easier.
The toilets were clean. That is always a good indicator for their awareness of health and safety.
I would be really curious to taste their wines in 2019 again, as the summer 2018 was such a good harvest. ....Therefore I assume that the wines next season will be even better....
give it a try!!!
