Vinag Wine Cellar
Vinska klet Vinag
An old wine cellar with roughly 2.5 kilometres of tunnels beneath Maribor's Old Town, where visitors can tour the underground passages and taste local white wines.
The Vinag Wine Cellar lies beneath the Old Town, with tunnels totalling about 2.5 kilometres and covering roughly 20,000 square metres. It is one of the largest traditional underground wine cellars in Europe, with origins going back to the 19th century. Guided tours show giant oak casks and aged vintages stored for many years, and include tastings of white wines from the Štajerska region, such as Welschriesling and Riesling. Guided tours must be booked in advance. The entrance is near Castle Square. The cellar is cool, so bring a jacket even in summer.
