Vinogradi Horvat - Vineyards Horvat, Maribor

This vineyard was one of the best tasting experiences we had in Slovenia and internationally. They are passionate, extremely friendly and helpful but also very knowledgeable and the wines are top notch quality and fairly priced. We would recommend anyone to visit them for a wonderful and unforgettable experience! If you travel with the camper they would very kindly let you stay on their property so you can fully enjoy the wine tasting. Please be supportive of their amazing kindness and make sure to bring many bottles home with you. You won’t regret it!

We 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 the tasting.

You don't want to miss this - it was the highlight of our whole trip in Maribor! The tasting took about 2.5 hours and we tasted so many amazing wines. The tasting included also some cheeses, bread and meat for local farms (let them know if you're a vegetarian, they can make you a plate without the meat products). Our host Damian was friendly and always ready to answer any questions. We took a taxi here from the city center and it was about 10 minutes. We had so much fun with my friends, would definitely recommend this experience.

Damjan and Sabina are very frendly. Their wine is very good. I like Renski Rizling where you can find intense Petrol notes, Chardoney plus, Souvignon and some Couve and sweet moscato it’s like a juice.. All their wines are very good. Prices are very normal and it’s easy to find it. Not far away from center of Maribor, take a Taxi but beffore you go call them.

Wine is better when it is shared. And Damien knows how to share his passion for wine. The degustation lasted 4 hours and we tasted 13 wines (10 in the dining room and 3 un the cellar). We visited the cellar. It's a small family owned winery producing 40,000 bottles per year. They almost exclusively produce white wines with a sparkling and a rosé. Highly recommended, by far the most enjoyable wine testing ever! Thank a lot Damien.
