Where: Castle Cafe Goodlife, Ljubljana, Slovenia

When: 30th August, 2011

What: Wine Tasting Organized by Goriška Brda Women

How many times do you have an opportunity to be part of the wine event organized by women? I for one was there. Women&Wine Slovenia is a new, very fresh approach to wine tastings. Women of Goriška Brda Region (Slovenia) and some from Colio (Italy) replaced their husbands, brothers in this wine tasting event with 28 wine cellars having one wine each, showing that they are supporting sometimes more than 3 pillars. Atmosphere was very enjoyable almost informal I would say. With excellent wines, some food and good DJ music we had really good time.
