Wine tasting is possible throughout the year. If you visit Jeruzalem in autumn, you can participate in a traditional grape harvest, which starts with a hearty breakfast and ends with a nice winter stew for lunch.
In November, join the wine festival in Ormož or Ljutomer on St. Martin’s Day and try young wine must (mošt). For horror film enthusiasts the Grossmann Fantastic Film and Wine Festival is held in Prlekija in the summer.
Harvests and wine festivals offer a great opportunity to taste Slovenian homemade specialties and white wines.
A list of “must try” delicacies includes pork lard spread with brown bread, warm cottage cheese flat cake, rich pumpkin seed oil, a glass of spritzer, sweet Traminer or the first Slovenian sparkling wine, Styrian champagne from Gornja Radgona.
