We just got back from our trip to Slovenia and we're still thinking fondly of the time we spent with Boris at Wine Tasting Bled. We booked for this tasting about a month in advance online, booking was very easy. They only take cash at this time, which isn't a big deal just make sure to be prepared and we were reminded of this in advance of our visit.
Our evening with Wine Tasting Bled started off with dinner at the restaurant above (which I almost regretted after seeing the amount of food as the amount of food provided during the tasting was substantial. Pro tip, eat light before you go). A thunderstorm had just set in as we were having dinner so wine tasting was a perfect way to spend a rainy night inside. The tasting program is in a wine cellar in the basement of a quaint restaurant that has been there since 1909, which means the wine cellar is also 100 years old as well!
The wines were stellar and we learned so much about the Slovenian wine-growing regions, it really was an education and made us want to come back to Slovenia to visit those wine regions we learned about. We paired wines with chocolates, cheeses and one particular pairing we really loved was with a local sausage. I won't ruin the surprise for you but there was also a very cool blind tasting experiment that was educational and fun. We also were able to purchase some of the wines we loved to take home with us.
The most fun part of the entire experience was Boris, whose passion for Slovenian wine really comes through. Getting to spend time with Boris made the entire experience worthwhile. If you're in Bled, take the time one evening to experience this unique wine cellar and tasting experience.
