What: Diving and celebrating Decanter Wine Awards

Dveri Pax Winery located in Štajerska Slovenia wine region is one of the “must taste” wineries if you want to feel Slovenian wine taste. This time they invited friends, business partners and journalists to »Dive Into the Blue.” With experienced divers (www.sub-net.si) we dived up to 8 meters and admire the underwater world. Unforgettable experience even for those who are skilled in diving. After salty Adriatic sea taste it began tasting award-winning wines in the shadow on the coast of Piran.
