NEW in Podčetrtek! The Centre for the Promotion of Wine, Culture and Tourism
The centre will combine the offer of the Šmarje Virštanj Wine Tourist Road area, and at the same time enable visitors to get to know the heritage of viticulture and winemaking in this area.

The Municipality of Podčetrtek transformed the Virštanj building into the Centre for the Promotion of Wine, Culture and Tourism, thus providing an additional offer in the rural area of Obsotelje and Kozjansko regions. The centre represents a great contribution to the tourist offer of the area, as it enables the connection of key stakeholders in three areas: wine, culture and tourism. The renovated building consists of a modern wine cellar and a multi-purpose space for gatherings and exhibitions.
The cellar, which has in recent years been abandonded, has thus been given a new old purpose: a wine cellar with a "wine-serving machine", which can not be found anywhere else in Slovenia. The machine allows visitors to taste and buy top-quality bottled wines from the local area. To realize the idea, investors connected with the Italian company Enomatic, a leading company in the field of innovative systems for serving wine by the glass. The single-vending machine introduces automated tasting and promotes premium bottled wines.
