Old Vine House
Hiša Stare trte
Guinness-certified as the world's oldest fruit-bearing grapevine. At over 400 years old, it still produces wine every year.
The old vine grows on the outer wall of an old house on the Lent riverbank. It is a local variety called Žametovka, over 400 years old, and has been certified by Guinness World Records as the oldest grapevine in the world still bearing fruit. Beneath the vine, the Old Vine House is a wine exhibition center where you can taste wines from the Štajerska region and learn the history of the vine. A grand harvest ceremony is held every autumn. Viewing the outer wall is free, while wine tasting costs extra.
