NEIGHBOURS OF THE OLDEST VINE

Guided experience at Lent on the occasion of the 40th Maribor Martini

On Saturday, we invite you to a unique guided experience through Lent, the oldest part of Maribor, where the “neighbours” - artists, craftsmen and thinkers working in the immediate vicinity of the oldest vine in the world - are still preserving the artisan tradition of Lent and co-creating its modern cultural pulse. Along the way, you will meet at least four artists - a potter from Pottery Centre, sommelja Dusan Kelbic, sculptor, fashion designer Tanjo Uvera and painter Alma Lovrenčič - listen to their stories and visit their studios.

The programme includes three guided tastings of selected wines from the Štajerska Slovenija wine-growing region, a visit to the Houses of the Old Vine, expert guided tours of Museum of the world's oldest vine and a tour Water Tower and Court Tower and Minorite Quarter. The event ends with a shared meal under the descendant of the oldest vine, which offers a special gastronomic experience.

Guided tours: in Slovenian (with the possibility of English interpretation by prior arrangement)

Find out more about the programme HERE.

(Starting point: Water Tower, Lent)

Price: 50 EUR per person. Includes guided tour, 3 wine tastings, banquet at a communal table, entrance fees and professional guide, sightseeing, studio tours and socialising with the creators.

Applications are invited until 6 November at museum@museum-mb.si or 02 228 35 51.
