Oldest vine in the world

The Old Vine, the oldest vine in the world, resides in Maribor right at the centre of the old town. The Old Vine, with an age that spans over 400 years, won its place into the Guinness World Records by being the oldest noble vine in the world still bearing grapes; there is no room for doubt about this as experts have confirmed that it is indeed the oldest! From its clusters come the Žametovka, also known as Blaufränkisch, a variety of grape which masters annually squeeze for its precious juice. The Old Vine symbolizes the rich wine culture of Maribor and Slovenia, and finally the entire world. Today, descendants of this great vine are grown almost all over the world. A lot of symbolism Let the Old Vine tell you her story; this venerable lady speaks of wine, resilience, and life energy. Let yourself be inspired by its immense power, both symbolically and with the energy from the fruit of its sisters.

    The best way is with wine degustation!
    I simply love The Old Vine tree and The Old Vine House. I'm local and I still visit 2-3 times a year. The best way to visit is to do the wine degustation and listen to the wine stories to go along.

    Wine Tasting with Good Stories
    Slovenian wine is exceptional: definitely recommend a tasting here. Of course, I wanted to take some home and they offered packing materials for transport. Located along the river which makes for a lovely walk to reach Old Vine.
