A culinary excursion through three towns

Karničnik tourist farm near Velenje
The Karničnik farm is located in Hrastovec, a few kilometres from Velenje. The farm raises horses and indigenous Krškopolje pigs, known for their marbled meat. Its food is prepared in a wood-fired oven and served in a former hop-drying building converted into a gathering space.
The farm also has a shop selling homemade dry-cured meats that reflect the flavours of the Šaleška Valley countryside.
Perger 1757 Honey Paradise in Slovenj Gradec
The Perger family in Slovenj Gradec has preserved the traditions of honey confectionery, decorated honeybread and candle making since 1757. These crafts have been passed down through nine generations. The visit introduces the family’s history, honeybread hearts, honey delicacies and candle making. The programme includes a guided visit and tasting.
Vinag wine cellar tour and tasting in Maribor
The history of the Vinag wine cellar dates back to 1847, when Alojz von Kriehuber, the lord of Melje Manor, developed winegrowing and built a wine cellar. Beneath central Maribor, the cellar covers 15,000 m² and has 2.1 kilometres of underground tunnels.
Wooden barrels, concrete tanks and a wine archive illustrate the history of winegrowing and winemaking. The visit includes a tasting of selected wines and an introduction to wine culture.
