Ptuj Wine Cellar
Ptujska klet
One of Slovenia's oldest wine cellars, where a 1917 bottle of “Golden Vine” is kept in the vaulted tunnels beneath the old town.
The Ptuj Wine Cellar traces its history to the 13th century. It occupies a series of vaulted tunnels beneath the old town and still produces white wines from northeastern Slovenia, including Welschriesling, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Guided tours walk through several hundred meters of cellars. In the archive is a 1917 bottle of Zlata trta (Golden Vine), regarded as Slovenia's oldest bottled wine, and tastings are offered at the end. Guided tours must be booked in advance. The cellar is in the city center, just a few minutes' walk from the Town Tower.
