The 5-Star Untold Story of Cviček

Become a winemaker for a day and discover how the legendary Dolenjska cviček is made!

In the morning, your journey begins at the entry point to Trška Gora, where a very special ride—the Cviček-mobil—picks you up and takes you into the heart of wine country.

Our first stop is the School Vineyard Cottage (Šolska zidanica), where you’ll step into the boots of a real winemaker: carry a grape basket (brenta), press grapes, and uncover the secrets of fermentation.

After a job well done, you’ll enjoy a well-deserved lunch at Zidanica Verček, where your warm host, Godmother Jožefina, will welcome you with traditional Dolenjska dishes.

To top it all off, we stop at the Škatlar Estate, where you’ll blend your own cviček from different grape varieties and bottle it yourself. Everyone takes home their own unique “Cviček to-go”—a delicious souvenir from a day among the vines.
