Old Vine House

The old vine is the only single plant with its own museum, which is housed in the Old Vine House. The house used to be a part of the city walls, and today contains the display of the long wine making tradition, a wine store and a room where visitors can taste wines from the Maribor wine-growing region. WORLD’S OLDEST VINE In the heart of the wine-growing region, Maribor keeps its most precious natural treasure – the oldest vine in the world that, after over 400 years, still bears fruit. The vine of the Modra kavčina or Žametovka variety was entered in the Guinness World Records book. It is believed it was planted at the end of middle Ages. It has survived centuries of invasions, attacks and fires that threatened the city’s existence. It showed its exceptional resilience when grape phylloxera destroyed almost all vineyards in Europe.

The tour is very nice. You really eat a lot, tasting local specialties, accompanied by good typical wine and from the surroundings of the city. The guide was very good, and accompanied us through all the stages giving us information not only about the dishes but also about the history of the city.
Extremely tasty, so much food!

What an experience to have a private food tour in Maribor! Our host J was very knowledgeable about the area, history and food. We tried some extremely delicious food, the advert does not lie, only come on the tour hungry, my partner and I couldn’t finish the last course. We got to sip some lovely Slovenian wines and go to some beautiful venues both local and bespoke. Would highly recommend!
Varied tour just for the two of us

We really enjoyed this food tour. There was a varied selection of food and wine. There were only two of us. Diana conducted this tour in German and gave us not only the information about the food and wine but also a lot of interesting facts about the history of Maribor and life in Slovenia. We can only recommend this tour.
Highly Recommend - great tour & guide

Jerneja was an excellent guide for our tour. It was like a progressive dinner except at 5 different courses at 5 different restaurants with wine. We could not finish all the food provided at the different restaurants.
Great experience! It was...

Great experience! It was so fun to explore the city while also trying local specialties. The tour was well organized, ran smoothly, and allowed for packing a lot into a short amount of time!

Our guide J was very friendly and helpful. Be prepared to have an empty stomach when you go! You will have the equivalent of breakfast, lunch, ice cream, dinner, and dessert all within the tour!
