Where: Brdo pri Kranju Slovenia

When:  September 3rd 2024

Tenth, jubilee festival salon decanter's prize winners took place the first week of September. 48 winemakers, mostly from Slovenia, then Serbia and Croatia, a few from Macedonia and Herzegovina (Bosnia and Herzegovina) attended.  All together more than 150 award-winning wines from bronze to platinum. There were also three masterclasses.

 / Robert Gorjak, organizer of the event, director of Belvin, Wine School and Judge at DWWA since 2005 wrote at the brochure a short overview - When Decanter magazine decided to organize its Decanter World Wine Awards (DWWA) in 2004, nobody knew exactly where this boat would head. But Sarah Kemp, the editor-in-chief of Decanter magazine at the time, and the legendary Steven Spurrier, together forming an incredibly successful duo, clearly had a clear vision. / 

All in all – Brdo pri Kranju is shown as a super nice place for professional wine tasting. The glass building that housed the winemakers is surrounded by an estate with many veteran trees. Place where you can focus on what you came for. Wines were – TOP. What can we expect from the most respected wine competition in the world?
