5.00My husband and I did the wine tasting in the dark and it was a fantastic experience. We were the only ones there for our time slot but we still had such fun. If you have a spare hour I highly recommend fitting this in. Friendly and professional service. Fantastic facilities and excellent wine!

5.00The sommelier really knows his craft. There were only the 2 of us booked in for this experience and afterwards there was the chance to ask questions of the host and we learned so much about who are the world’s wine experts, the impact of the cask on the wine and he even invited us to taste some delicious ‘wine’ made from cherries. This event exceeded our expectations
A fantastic experience in...

5.00A fantastic experience in total darkness. Tasting wine without seeing it was very interesting as well as surprising. Who knew seeing your glass of wine already started forming your opinion of the wine. The narrator for the tasting was very funny. I would highly recommend this experience!!
If you are a wine drinker, don’t miss this!

5.00This was a GREAT experience. So unique & totally unexpected. We originally had a wine tasting experience scheduled for our tour group that cast $120. Our tour guide told us this was a much more interesting experience and it totally was - for almost $100 less! I am in the wine business and have never experienced anything like it.
Fun but Expensive

3.00It was a fun experience but not worth the money for the amount of time. The whole experience felt rushed and other tastings cost much less - you’re paying extra just to be in the dark.

5.00So much fun ! Was unsure what to expect, but the whole experience was well managed and the wines were good quality. We came as a group but people on their own were put together so it’s a sociable experience. Our friend struggled with the dark so was whisked out and had her own personal tasting - whilst laughing at us in the dark on the screen. I would recommend this to all visitors to Bratislava if you’re looking for a quirky fun experience. I am not sure that not being able to see really heightened my senses, but we had such an enjoyable time it didn’t matter.
