Highlights
  • Michalská 3 - Be greeted in our enchanting ancient wine cellar, where you’ll be seated to soak in the historic atmosphere with clear visibility.

A brief audio-led introduction will precede the gradual dimming of lights until complete darkness envelops the space.

In this darkness, you’ll partake in a 40-minute tasting of four distinctive Slovak wines, accompanied by an English-language audio guide. Initially, our sommelier will serve you the first wine as the audio guide playfully and interactively walks you through the tasting process. Feel free to share your thoughts and impressions during the tasting; our sommelier will be attentive to your feedback throughout the session.

The wines you’ll be sampling will remain a mystery, hidden from your sight. This experience transcends the visual, compelling you to judge the wine solely on its merit. Without sight to guide you, you’ll embark on a journey of discovery, exploring a new realm of scents and tastes unique to Slovak wines. These four superb wines will introduce you to the splendor of our nation’s viticulture. Prepare for a cultural, sensory, and tranquil experience like no other. Don’t let this chance slip by.

Do this when you are in Bratislava! - What an amazing experience the wine tasting in the dark was. Tasting a fabulous selection of Slovakian wines, and learning so much. The commentary was excellent leading you through the wines. The two members of staff were very knowledgeable and very friendly. I would highly recommend trying this.

Eye opening - It was an amazing experience. Wasn’t what we were expecting but it was a good surprise. The packs had one of the most sweetest and original wines I’ve ever tasted. Don’t worry dry wine lovers, you have your in the package as well.😀

Perfect wine tasting 😍 - We have already had several wine tastings, but this one was really perfect! Kristina did a fantastic job. We never felt like we were under time pressure and she not only told us about the wines but also about Slovakia and Bratislava. Highly recommended for anyone traveling to Bratislava!

Would absolutely recommend! - It was a very fun experience! We tasted a total of six wines and learned about slovakian wines. It was surprisingly difficult to guess the color of the wine based on the taste, which was fun to experience. Would recommend!
