Unexpected highlight of our visit - We were unsure what to expect from this experience, however it was fantastic. From the greeting to leaving were we treated as valued guests. The staff were amazing and passionate about about Slovak wine. The tasting itself is an unmissable experience, we are not wine connisuers however embraced the smelling and guessing game. All wines tasted very nice and one was more surprising than expected for us.

Unique wine tasting experience - A truly unique and interesting wine tasting experience. Tasting wine in pitch black darkness allows you to engage your other senses (notably taste and smell) for an incredible and disconcerting experience (spoiler alert: some wines are not what they appear to be!). I would like to thank our sommelier Boris, whose kindness, availability and numerous explanations, made this experience truly memorable.

Fun and interesting - I enjoyed this a lot! The wine varieties were all quite different but quite enjoyable. The place was easy to find, the description quite accurate. The wines were all unique to Slovakia, with great info provided. The pitch darkness does make it fun and different. I recommend it!

Fun way to experience Slovakian wines - Looking for a different way to experience Slovakian wines we found this. Turned out we were the only 2 people booked in. Boris was our sommelier, we had a lively chat with him afterwards. The wines we tasted were lovely and the darkness enhanced the experience. Would recommend, 5 stars 🌟

Great entertainment - This was good fun and the audio guy is funny and entertaining and sets the tone. It’s a novel experience and you get to try a few wines (although several were not to my taste- but generally ok). We were a group of friends and calling out descriptions of wine in the dark had us laughing for most of the hour.
