I’m wishing I were in Slovenia right now. Starting on October 2nd until St. Martin’s on November 11th. They will be celebrating the oldest grape vine in the world. The old vine is 400 years old and still bearing grapes. It is a great excuse to have a festival of wine and food.
The Old Vine even has it’s own house.
House of the Old Vine
Maribor on the Drava river
The Old Vine is in the city of Maribor on the Drava river. I spent my day today cooking and cleaning house. Think I would have rather been at the Old Vine Festival drinking wine.
Last year I ordered wine from Slovenia from Blue Danube Wine Company It was terrific. I highly recommend it. The Slovenian’s don’t export too much wine since they keep it for domestic use. I don’t blame them at all. I didn’t know these grapes, but I think we could be friends.
