FINALIST#1: The Untold Story of Cviček

Become a winemaker for a day and uncover the story behind the legendary Dolenjska cviček.

Your day begins at the gateway to Trška Gora, where you set off on a scenic e-bike ride through the rolling hills of Dolenjska. Effortless cycling lets you soak in vineyard views and discover hidden corners of this unique wine-growing landscape.

Coming back, a truly unique ride awaits you – the Cviček-mobil. Sit back and enjoy the journey as you’re taken straight into the heart of rolling vineyards and centuries-old wine traditions.

Once among the vines, it’s time to get hands-on. Experience the work, and the passion behind cviček — and feel what it truly means to be part of this wine-growing landscape.

After a job well done, reward yourself with a relaxed, authentic lunch at Vineyard Cottage Verček.  Here, you’ll be warmly welcomed by Godmother Jožefina, who serves up traditional Dolenjska dishes paired perfectly with a local wine.

Another highlight of the day awaits at the Škatlar Estate, where creativity takes over. Guided by the expert, you’ll blend your very own cviček from different grape varieties, bottle it yourself, and take home a personalised “Cviček to-go” — a one-of-a-kind souvenir from your day among the vines.
