“Each year, Slovenian wines increasingly confirm that they are the protagonists of the entire world wine scenario. I strongly recommend all wine lovers to visit this beautiful country and taste its excellent wines!” said Guido Baldeschi, the representative of OIV (International Organisation of Vine and Wine).

The official declaration of wine awards took place in the renovated Gallery Hall at GR – Ljubljana Exhibition and Convention Centre which was already before the renovation an attractive hall with glass walls that offered a possibility of dimming.
