Some places you simply visit. Others you remember.
Hidden among the charming streets of Ljubljana’s old town, Vineria Del Ponte belongs to the second kind.
Small, warm, and full of character, this welcoming boutique is much more than a wine shop. It is a place where wine, artisanal liqueurs, chocolate, and gourmet delicacies come together to create a genuine sensory experience — one rooted in tradition, craftsmanship, and the pleasure of discovery.
Stepping inside feels less like entering a store and more like discovering a little world of flavours and stories, where visitors are invited to explore, ask questions, and connect with the culture behind every bottle and every product.
A Journey Through Slovenian Wines
At the heart of Vineria Del Ponte lies a remarkable collection of more than 400 wine labels, with particular attention given to Slovenia’s three wine regions — Primorska, Podravje, and Posavje.
Many of these wines are still little known internationally and rarely exported, making the boutique a unique place for travellers who wish to discover authentic Slovenian wines that are difficult to find abroad.
Alongside these local treasures, guests will also find a carefully selected collection of Italian wines, reflecting the natural connection between the two neighbouring wine cultures.
Artisanal Liqueurs and Gourmet Discoveries
Beyond wine, Vineria Del Ponte is also a boutique of handcrafted liqueurs and delicatessen products.
Visitors can discover artisanal liqueurs made from ingredients such as honey, figs, and blueberries, along with fine chocolate and other gourmet specialties inspired by local traditions and craftsmanship.
Guests are welcome to taste the liqueurs, chocolate, and selected delicacies, offering a rich sensory introduction to the boutique’s artisanal creations.
Tastings and Experiences
While wines are not casually tasted in the shop, organised wine tastings can be arranged, allowing guests to explore Slovenian and Italian wines in a more intimate and guided experience.
These tastings offer not only an introduction to the wines themselves, but also to the stories, landscapes, and traditions behind them.
Warm Hospitality in the Heart of Ljubljana
What truly defines Vineria Del Ponte is its atmosphere. Friendly, personal, and welcoming, it is a place where visitors can slow down and enjoy an authentic moment of discovery.
International guests are warmly welcomed, with service available in Slovenian, English, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian. The boutique is accessible for visitors with disabilities, and pets are welcome as well.
