Enjoying this wine visit card - Although I think I know a lot about wine of Slovakia, this place was a really positive discovery and a lesson too. We did not have time to enjoy the organized tasting in the dark, nevertheless we liked very much the basic menu at the bar. We have asked not to be offered the most popular and well known samples so we were surprised in the best way. The very first sample was a happy blend of Risling and Silvaner, the second sample was red and it was Hron. Not many people are familiar with this wine, while Dunaj is more popular and frequent. The third sample was a surprise and my first impression was - it must have been a fortified wine. It was not, it was a lovely cherry wine and we admired its quality. Next time we plan to take part in the dark tasting. Looking forward to having fun in future.

Interesting experience - It was interesting not being able to see anything. The information on the tasting helped me identify what flavors I was tasting. It was a fun time.

Good to taste some different wines never tried before - A somewhat bizarre experience. Some lovely wines to taste, pleasant staff, but the event was a bit stilted and lacking in atmosphere with only us and another couple (who were really lovely!) at the one table in the cellar. We booked one of the earlier sessions (late afternoon) so there may have been more life about it later in the evening. I feel it was quite expensive to book through Tripadvisor for what it was, and found out that there is a 'free' wine tasting included with the Bratislava card but can't comment on what it is like. Glad we did this for the experience and it was lovely to meet the other people at our table.

Wine tasting Slovakia - It was a nice experience. There was only 3 of us and think it may have been more fun with more people. The audio commentary was very good but may have felt more personal if the person was there in person. A lovely selection of wines was available. It would be good to also offer sip of water in between each wine tasting. Overall I enjoyed the experience, very different.
