Dinner in teh Forest at Pohorje Village Wellbeing Resort

At the beginning of September, a hidden forest clearing within the Pohorje Village Wellbeing Resort will be transformed into a culinary stage. On Friday, 5 September 2025, the resort will host Dinner in the Forest – the first event of its kind in Slovenia. 

Dinner in the Forest – a groundbreaking experience uniting carefully curated local flavours, thoughtful wine pairings and the enchanting atmosphere of the Pohorje woodlands – will take place on Friday, 5 September. Described by the resort as both an intimate gourmet journey and one of the most magical culinary stories of the year, it sets a new benchmark for experiential dining in Slovenia. 

The evening will begin with a welcome reception and a glass of brut sparkling wine from Puklavec Family Wines. A multi-course dining experience will follow, each dish unfolding as a story: from a delicate amuse-bouche to creamy pumpkin soup infused with autumn aromas, leading to the main course – the resort’s signature cottage cheese dumpling paired with a tender beef medallion, mushroom sauce, and cranberries. The finale will be a mini Pohorje omelette, a traditional dessert given a refined local twist. Guests will enjoy a curated selection of three local wines, with the evening concluding in the Lobby Bar over a glass of blueberry digestif.

To make the night even more memorable, guests may opt for a return journey on the Pohorje cable car, allowing them to savour the evening to its fullest without a thought for transport.

About the Resort: Nestled on the slopes of Pohorje above Maribor, Slovenia’s second-largest city, Pohorje Village Wellbeing Resort is a year-round destination devoted to wellness, sustainability and active outdoors. The resort offers direct access to hiking and cycling trails, winter ski slopes and tranquil forest landscapes. Blending modern comfort with eco-conscious design, it provides a holistic wellbeing programme, locally inspired gastronomy, and strong ties to the cultural and natural heritage of the region. Dinner in the Forest is the latest initiative showcasing the resort’s mission: to bring people closer to nature through innovative, authentic and sustainable experiences.
