WINE ROUTE
22./ 23. & 29./30. November 2024
In the “longest wine cellar” in this country, the tunnels under the old town of Kranj, we will once again host winemakers from all Slovenian wine-growing regions. On two weekends in November, 22–23 and 29–30, you will be able to taste the best Slovenian wines, accompanied by tastings of cheese, bread and meat products.
The event will take place on Fridays between 3pm and 8pm and on Saturdays between 12am and 8pm, in groups that enter every 15 minutes.
In the last 15 years, over 200 winemakers have already presented their wines at this event, which is every year attended by over 5000 wine lovers from all over Slovenia and abroad.
The main focus of the event is to educate visitors about wine culture and to showcase various wine varieties, wine makers, their work and products. In addition to wine, cheese, bread and meat products, there will also be olive oil and various sweet and savoury snacks. The event is a great opportunity to discover wines and to find the best Christmas present for your loved ones.
The wine route will take place in the 1300 metres long tunnels of Kranj, with the entrance at Jelenov Klanec and the exit at Pungert. When you purchase your ticket, you will receive a glass, a bag for the glass and a bag in which you can put the goodies you have bought. The Wine Route in the tunnels puts Kranj on the map of the most successful oenological and gastronomic events and is sold out every year.

WINE ROUTE
November 2024
Details of the event 2024 will be announced in the coming months.
Kranj, a charming town in the Alps, halfway between the capital Ljubljana and the enchanting Bled, hosts the Wine Route in the tunnels under the old town. This is a unique culinary event with over 5000 visitors, a tasting of the best Slovenian wines, complemented by tastings of cheese, baked goods and cured meats.
The event is also a special experience because it takes place at a depth of more than 10 metres! Under the city centre there are 1300 metres of underground tunnels, which were built during the Second World War and are now the main attraction of the Wine Route.
Don’t miss this unique experience and join us in the Tunnels under the old town of Kranj on 17, 18, 24 and 25 November 2023!
The excellent wines will be complemented by cheese, breads and sausages. In addition to this, the individual wine-growing regions will be presenting also their tourism, gastronomy and cultural programmes.
Tickets (from €18 onwards) are available on the Eventim website. You can purchase them HERE. With the purchase of the ticket, visitors will receive a glass, a bag for the glass and this year also a shopping bag for wines and other specialties that they might buy.
