There are 2.1 kilometres of wine tunnels beneath Maribor. Have you discovered them yet?

Vinagova klet (Vinag Wine Cellar) covers approximately 15,000 m² and 2.1 kilometres of underground tunnels. Its oldest section was built in 1847. These figures describe the entire complex and reveal the scale of Maribor’s wine underworld.

On a tour, the numbers take on a different meaning. A space invisible from the street unfolds through tunnels, barrels and a wine archive. Suddenly, you get to know the city centre vertically too: after a walk above ground, you continue beneath it.

The featured visit for individual guests is listed as lasting approximately an hour and a half. Check the time and content of your chosen tour when booking.

Najstarejša trta (the world’s oldest grapevine) grows beside the house at Vojašniška ulica 8. Visit Maribor presents it as a Guinness World Record holder approximately 450 years old. A selection of local wines is available in the nearby wine shop.

Stop by the grapevine even without a tasting. Observe how it fits into the urban space: the wine story here begins along a house façade, close to the river and city life.

If a particular winemaker catches your interest during a tasting, continue your trip at their estate. Choose one cellar and arrange a visit.

Beside the vineyard, you can ask about the site, grape varieties and working methods. In the city wine shop, you discovered the wine through taste; at the winemaker’s, you add a place and a person. This connection stays in the memory much longer than ordering a random glass.

For a first visit, combine a walk along Lent with one guided tour or tasting. If you also want to venture into the vineyards, set aside a separate part of the day.

Leave time for lunch and transport between your chosen stops. Wine experiences will be more enjoyable if you do not have to watch the clock with every glass.
